Changed umask in /etc/profile to 000. With nfs daemons running, rm'd the 
logfiles. Restarted daemons with no error. Files came back like this:

-rw-r--r--    1 SMITED   mkgroup-        0 Mar 12 17:18 mountd.log
-rw-r--r--    1 SMITED   mkgroup-    11869 Mar 12 17:21 nfsd.log
-rw-r--r--    1 SYSTEM   root            0 Mar 12 17:18 portmap.log

No longer all SYSTEM/root but now like all other files in system 
SMITED/mkgroup- (except portmap which is still running as LocalSystem). 
Looks like the 1st time you start nfs as LocalSystem it makes it 
impossible to change unless you add write permissions or delete the 
mountd and ntfsd log files first.

Also noticed that when I bop around in my mounted nfs directory on the 
client machine (doing cd's and ls), I get tons of errors in the nfsd.log 
file all saying this:

"nfsd[1860] 03/12/104 17:21 auth_clnt.c 327 : Unable to setgroups: 
invalid argument"

This happened when running as LocalSystem too.
