Summary: Problems accessing data from SunOS4.1.1 NFS

I have several Sun partitions NFS-mounted on my Apollo network.  However,
one of them gives the following messages when I try to look at data as
any non-root user over the mount:
Sep 15 14:03:20 top vmunix: NFS request from unprivileged port.
Sep 15 14:03:20 top vmunix: nfs_server: weak authentication, source IP address=141.212.66.55
Sep 15 14:03:26 top vmunix: NFS request from unprivileged port.
Sep 15 14:03:26 top vmunix: nfs_server: weak authentication, source IP address=141.212.66.55
Sep 15 14:03:27 top vmunix: NFS request from unprivileged port.
Sep 15 14:03:27 top vmunix: nfs_server: weak authentication, source IP address=141.212.66.55

For the record, top IS running the shadow password suite (rpc.pwdauthd), and
the others are not.  All Suns are running rpc.mountd with the -n option.
The problem Sun is currently at 4.1.1, and the others are 4.1.2.  Any help
in resolving this or even a workaround would be greatly appreciated.
