the nvram on the file server tells which device contains the config block,
so you'll need to re-enter `config' in the file server, but
if you do that, it clears the configuration and you need to provide the whole
configuration again, so the effect is much the same
as if the nvram did contain the configuration.
don't forget to `printconf' first, then.

instead, i suggest you boot the file server
and use its passwd command, which will change the
authentication information in the file server's nvram.
it prompts for what it needs.  it should take effect
immediately.

it's a completely different story on the cpu server.
