Hi Clint

I've got NFS4 running on F11 and your configuration looks fine to me.

You may want to check that nfsnobody is defined on your system and
rpc.idmapd is actually running.  Also the output from rpcinfo might help.

I'd probably want to keep things simple while you are testing. Perhaps
cut this back to:

inf1:/ /test rw,noatime,sync,hard,intr  0 0

Running tcpdump at both ends while you try to do a directory listing may
provide some insight (which process is waiting for a response from whom)

Err grasping at straws ... you may also want to check for any old stuff
you may have in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}.

Hope this helps,
