I have changed /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam on nfsserver and bind = nfsserver's
ipaddress. and netstat is showing fam was able bind to given ip. but still
tcpdump is showing hundreads of nfs.access messages due to fam. My 
solution (although i donot like it) is to disable fam. some applications 
will be affected which are using fam but at least we are able to work.


Thanks a lot
