Hello Harald,

FYI, The 'vos remaddrs' command has been available since OpenAFS 1.6.16 and can
be used to remove unreferenced server entries in the VLDB. You'll need to list
the UUID of the fileserver with 'vos listaddrs -printuuid' to get the UUID of
the fileserver entry to be removed. The old 'vos changeaddr' should no longer
be needed, since -remove was the last useful option.

Thanks,
Mike
