Ahem.  Well, I should also get my facts straight.  In Sun's D/NFS 1.0
release, rpc.mountd will do away with the rmtab update entirely.  My
apologies, Karl.  My understanding is that D/NFS 1.0 is still in
beta test and has not been "final released" to OEMs.  Your statement should
be amended to say "in the next release of NFS to Sun's NFS vendors, the
strategy of using /etc/rmtab is no longer current".
