Believe it or not, it is my understanding that a reboot is required to fix
some RPC registration problems under Solaris.  I read this somewhere deep
in the doco.  It basically says something like "don't be starting &
stopping RPC services out of order, reboot instead".  This is all from
memory so if anyone could provide more specific advice for Sarah I think
that would be narly.

James of the Sun Microsystems, do you have any comments on this RPC
issue?
Cheers,
