No. Using the Linux box as an NFS server, OS X as the client, OS X fails
to mount the server correctly. I just did it again to refresh my memory.
It mounts, but then any attempt to access that directory (beyond cd'ing
into it) gives an "Operation not permitted" error. I'm doing this as
root, of course.

build 1H39. Someone I talked to said he thought there was a newer build
that filled in some of the things missing from '39. Apple also mentioned
a future CD release would correct some minor security hole that shipped on
the first version of the public beta CD, according to... either MacAddict
or an Apple press release, I forget which. :-)
