there's no windex file so "apropos" and "whatis" lose.
The automounter is running. This creates /net, /home, and /xfn as
automounter mountpoints, and because they are tagged with "ignore",
"mount" doesn't see them, though they exhibit the characteristics of
mountpoints (like, you cannot write to them, etc.)
There seem to be a bunch of daemons in /etc/inet/inetd.conf that are
probably not wanted and potential security holes waiting to happen,
like kerbd, cachefsd, dr_daemon, and gssd.
Looking at the process listing (ps -ef), I'm skeptical
that all the daemons that are running really should be
running.
