I am using Novell's SUSE 10.0 purchased Boxed Version. Kernel:

uname -a
Linux L10... 2.6.13-15-default #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

As you can see it is a standard kernel on a x86_64 system

I hope it is that simple...

I am using the one with the above kernel. How do I find out which
version it is? From the /var/log/messages I see:
"Using /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery as the NFSv4 state recovery directory"; I
take it to be v4 then.

No messages on the NFS-Server regarding the problem.

On the Client:
Jan 11 11:40:21 L10 kcheckpass[3207]: Authentication failure for clu1
(invoked by uid 1001)=20
Jan 11 11:41:45 L10 su: (to root) clu1 on /dev/pts/6
Jan 11 11:43:10 L10 syslog-ng[3681]: STATS: dropped 88

The passwords are the same on both machines.
