[lug] Linux NFS server, Solaris client

[Michael Belanger]

I've thought about hosts.allow and have all of my localhosts in the 
hosts.allow file of the nfs server... As for the solaris client, it 
doesn't have a default (empty) hosts.allow file, so I am not sure it is 
set up for using one..

Same syntax as linux, is it?
