Just wondering if you had a chance to look at the packet capture I sent and
the pointers to the Solaris source code that appear to be causing the
problem that results in ignoring the sgid bits on directory creations over
NFS.

The feedback I'm getting from sustaining on my support request is that they
don't think it's broken and they're not inclined to fix it. Even if the
spec doesn't explicitly define the behavior, respecting the sgid bit on
directory creation still seems like the right thing to do. If you agree,
perhaps you could use your considerable influence to try and improve
interoperability ;)? Or perhaps put me in touch with someone in forward
development, or someone in charge of attending NFS interoperability
bakeoffs, that might be more interested in improvements?

Thanks...
