Well, I've not been able to get nfswatch 3.0 to work here...  I've tried
Sun 3 and SPARC versions, and Pmax, to no avail.

On the Suns, I get

   nfswatch: nit: open: No such device

[[Ed's Note: You probably don't have streams NIT support compiled into
your kernel. The following line should appear in your kernel configuration
file:

psuedo-device     snit          # streams NIT

You should also verify the existence of the /dev/nit file:

   0 crw-------  1 root      37,  40 Jun 28  1990 /dev/nit

-bdg]]

On the Pmax, I get

   # nfswatch
   No such file or directory

Any ideas?
