Hi,
I have a Solaris 8 server on a Sunfire 280R exporting to sun and linux
workstations using netgroups. I added a new linux host-(Redhat & kernely
2.4.7 on a dell inspiron) to the netgroup. On the sun server I than
reran the share command. Then trying to mount the exported file-system
on the linux client failed with a permission denied error. Changing the
share command to list the linux hostname (i.e share -F -o
rw=netgroup,rw=linuxhost /export/test made the system mountable on the
linux workstation.

Any ideas why netgroups aren't working?

First guess: you rebuilt/pushed the "netgroup" map but not the
"netgroup.byhost" (and "netgroup.byuser") maps.

I don't have the exact hardware, but this is working at my site.
