I've found that when using hostnames in the sharenfs line, I had to use the FQDN; the short hostname did not work, even though both client and server were in the same DNS domain and that domain is in the search path, and nsswitch uses DNS for hosts (read: 'ping client1' works fine, as does 'mount server:/export/fs /mnt' from client1).
I have found the same, whether sharing to Linux or Solaris hosts, the FQDN appears to be required.
It's not quite true that you need the FQDN, as it still does depend on the name service setup. However, what is true is this: to authenticate a client, the server does a IP-to-hostname mapping and compares the string with the string on the share entry. If the strings match (ignoring case), the client gets access. If not, the client does not get access. This has confused many, and it's not clear how or where to document this so that it does not cause more confusion. RFEs with example language would be welcome. So, to make a long story short, if you log into the server from the client and do "who am i", you will get the host name you need for the share.
