#   If these boxes used to run 1.2 or 1.2A-H or earlier:

#   mountd and nfsd in /sbin have been deleted, since they would be

#   problem, you might want to check for other such ``stale''
#   executables -- I posted a message to current-users a few
#   months ago with a script for finding such things.

#   I _hope_ this is your problem, because it's easy to fix!

Unfortunately no.. These machines were all installed from scratch with 1.3. 
The problem is very intermittent, and sometimes it works just fine, some times
one or two die.  Last time was the most rediculous.. as *all* of them decided
to wedge.
