It happens on and off over here. And it disappears for no apparent
reason.
Mar  3 11:16:11 hyper kernel: nfs_revalidate_inode: eijk/.Xauthority
     getattr failed, ino=19268, error=-116
Mar  3 11:16:11 hyper kernel: nfs_revalidate_inode: eijk/.Xauthority
     getattr failed, ino=19268, error=-116

What's worse, the HP/UX patchs fixes more or less the trouble I'm
having with the truncated readdir requests to the HP, but I can no
longer reliably mount from another Linux box anymore, indifferent
which nfs server I use (user of kernel). This is what happens on
client side:

Mar  3 12:48:07 tommie kernel: RPC: task timed out
Mar  3 12:48:07 tommie kernel: nfs: server hyper not responding, still
trying  

and the server is complaining about the following:
Mar  3 12:47:40 hyper kernel: UDP: bad checksum. From 8259B579:797 to 8259B567:2049 ulen 204
Mar  3 12:48:09 hyper last message repeated 9 times

I think this is due to the HP/UX fix, which fixes it for all servers
I've mounted, unfortunately also for the non HP servers.
