I would like to add the following code to knfs.add. It should cause
the machien to use shutdown_notify, rather than rwall, and it will
also remove the string telling people to log out, since
zshutdown_notify tells people to detach -host, however, users logged
into the machine will still be told to log out. I could probably be
convinced to apply it to nfs.add too, but my gut feeling is that
people using no-kerberized nfs are more likely to have non-Athenaized
clients. People with thoughts or suggestions should offer them.
