Shortly there after my users began reporting odd behavior like "Firefox bookmarks won't load".
I decided to test it remotely and encountered a file locking problem with .Xauthority:
After much digging, an IRC user in #RHEL pointed me to the following bug:
$ ssh -X wkstation01
/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/flakrat/.Xauthority
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524520
Three immediate solutions:
- Reboot to the previous 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 kernel until the new kernel is released
- Download the patches in the bug and rebuild the kernel
- Get RH support to send you the interim patched kernel

According to this eratta: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1548.html
The NFSv4 issue has been resolved in kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5. I haven't tested it yet, but am glad Red Had decided to patch the kernel rather than pushing it to RHEL5u5 as was initially proposed.
Kernel 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 has, in fact, resolved the issue.
