Pretend the local hostname is

This is useful after the local hostname has been changed and rmtab entries
using the old name remain on a remote machine.
Unfortunately, most mountd's won't be able to successfully handle removal
of such entries, so this option is useful in combination with

.SH BUGS
No attempt is made to verify the information in
.B /etc/mtab
itself.
.PP
Since swap file mounts are not recorded in
.BR /etc/mtab ,
a heuristic specific to SunOS is used to determine whether such a mount
is actual (replacing the string "swap" with "root" and verifying the resulting
path).
.PP
Symbolic links on the server will cause the path in the remote entry to differ
from the one in
.BR /etc/mtab .
To catch those cases, a filesystem is also deemed mounted if its
.I local
mount point is identical to the remote entry.
I.e., on a SunOS diskless client,
.B server:/export/share/sunos.4.1.1
is actually
.BR /usr/share .
Since the local mount point is
.B /usr/share
as well this will be handled correctly.
.PP
There is no way to clear a stale entry in a remote mountd after the
local hostname (or whatever reverse name resolution returns for it)
has been changed. To take care of these cases,
the remote /etc/rmtab file has to be edited and mountd restarted.

The RPC timeouts for mountd calls can only be changed by recompiling.
The defaults are 2 seconds for client handle creation and 5 seconds for
RPC calls.
