But Solaris is a completely different OS.  I don't have much experience
with this (DU/Solaris, NFS on them, or using sockets) but I understand
there may be significant differences in how they handle sockets and NFS.
Ie., "What works on Solaris may not work on DU".  If the docs say "don't
put your socket on NFS", then I recommend you don't do that. :-)  Even
if it "works on this other computer..."
