SunOS 4.x had lofs, automount and the translucent filesystem.

Just as a matter of interest, did automount already transparently use
lofs for local mounts in SunOS 4.x?

Is it really possible to wedge Solaris by automounting an NFS file
system on the same system that exports it?

I'm not sure it did; it seems to be using a /tmp_mnt hierarchy
and not the "use lofs".

You can't easily do it (autofs won't do it); there used to be an issue
with UFS & NFS. I think it may have been fixed.

<IP_Address> is not a valid entry in an access list. You can get
close to it by doing a network specification with a 32-bit subnet
mask, though. But you have to stick the /32 on the end.

Absolutely.
