The bug has been tracked down and fixed in our source tree for the 7.5
release. (Actually, "fix" is a bad word, since the solution was a
workaround of a bug in the AIX operating system libraries).
There is only one workaround that I can suggest for the moment:
o Work as root on your workstation when accessing NFS lockers. In order
for root to be able to read your files across NFS, you will have to
attach the locker as root with your tickets.
If there is a bug-fix release, I will certainly suggest that this be
included, but I do not believe there are any plans to put out another
release before 7.5.

When I log into an RS6k, most of my groups aren't recognized,
which makes it a bit difficult to access some NFS files. For some
reason, the number output by `groups` varies from machine to machine,
but I can never get them all on this machtype. Can you fix this?
In answer to the standard questions, this is happening on public
workstations, and only on RS6k's.
