	... There are many ways to DoS a Solaris NFS server. One of them  is  to
	put a RedHat 7.3 (original kernel) on the network as an NFS client  then
	initiate a large read over NFS and watch the Solaris NFS  server  become
	unresponsive to pings. As soon as you  kill  the  read  everything  goes
	back to normal.
