When I run showmount on Pender, my Sun 4/280 running SunOS 4.0.3, it
lists three machines that haven't mounted a Pender filesystem in many
months (and many reboots), and even lists a machine that no longer
exists!

This causes some inconvenience, since shutdown rwalls these machines,
even though they are supremely indifferent to Pender's state of being.

Is there any way of getting Pender to forget that these machines were
ever NFS clients?

Email or post, as you see fit.  I will summarize if there is
sufficient interest.

I am posting as an individual, not as a representative of U. of P.
