(An addendum to my last message:
foo-server/picayune/usenet-addresses does not exist anywhere on
picayune's local disk, so it's not part of the machine configuration.)

Shabby has said there is nothing useful in
picayune:/u1/lockers/o2.krb, and Cliff Newman has said there is
nothing useful in picayune:/u1/lockers/vfs.  That leaves only the
listserv locker, which, according to Matt Power, is probably out of
date and not irreplacable.

There are apparently a few machines which still mount u1/lockers, but
I have no idea why:

	bloom-picayune# /etc/showmount -a | grep lockers
	catfish.LCS.MIT.EDU:/u1/lockers
	colt45.eecs.umich.edu:/u1/lockers
	monk.cs.brown.edu:/u1/lockers
	piranha.LCS.MIT.EDU:/u1/lockers
	rincewind.mech.virginia.edu:/u1/lockers
	rosie.engin.umich.edu:/u1/lockers
	sinan.LCS.MIT.EDU:/u1/lockers

I have no idea how old these entries are (rmtab gets updated whenever
anyone attaches sipbftp), or why these people used to use /u1/lockers.

Anyway:

	- I plan to blow away /u1/lockers/os2.krb and /u1/lockers/vfs
	  sometime on June 5 or later if no one objects, since I
	  already have fairly good confirmation that no one cares
	  about them.

	- I plan to blow away /u1/lockers/listserv sometime on June 14
	  or later (two weeks from now) if no one objects.  I'd
	  appreciate it if Bill could confirm or deny that it's not
	  useful any more.

	- I plan to create /u2/lockers, just in case someone isn't
	  confused yet, and export the quiche source tree there.
	  bloom-picayune has acquired the cname sipb-nfs.mit.edu,
	  which will be active tomorrow.

	- Assuming everything in /u1/lockers goes away, /u1/lockers
	  will go away as well.  If we should retain /u1/lockers, I'll
	  move /u1/lockers/listserv to /u2/lockers and put a symlink
	  in its place--or will that confuse the NFS server?
