I have several partitions from a 3.2-RELEASE machine mounted via NFS on a
4.0-RELEASE machine.  On the 4.0 machine, I am unable to append to a world
writable file (622, for example) that resides on the 3.2 machine.  This
did not happen with 3.3.

Using cat >>/nfspath/file results in "cat: stdout: Permission denied" as
soon as the first line of text tries to get appended.

I double-checked the mount point permissions on the 4.0 box and they are
the same as on a 3.3 box that does the above with no problem.  The mount
point is set to 755.

Am I missing something very obvious, or have things changed a bit in this
situation with 4.0?
