When I type man nfs, or man nfsd, it says there is no man page for it. On
my other FBSD system (before I hosed it) I did have the exact same man
page. Why is it not working as I expected it. Also, in /var/log/maillog I
get a message that says:

Jan 22 03:07:03 h0010419 sendmail[5465]: alias database /etc/aliases.db out
of date

I go into the /etc dir and look for aliases.db and it isn't there, just a
aliases file. So I vi it and see that I need to run newaliases to update my
aliases.db file.  So I do this, and poof, there is a aliases.db file there.
Well, I still get the error, and I don't know where to go from here.

If you could give me some places to start looking, I would appreciate it. I
am not really looking for an explecit answer, just a hint on where to start
the search. Thanks in advance,
