Ah.. makes sense - and reminds me of another question I wanted to ask
- are there any plans for marking filesystems clean upon unmounting
them so as to skip checks of most filesystems when rebooting after
normal shutdowns?

I come from an Ultrix background & Ultrix only uses /var/yp for
ypserv.  Since there wasn't a man page handy telling me this was
correct, I just assumed that it was a typo...

Thanks for the quick answers,
