Many thanks to all the people who replied, mostly in the time it took
to have a cup of tea. Things I learned included:

(1) You can find what installation subset a program lives in by
looking in /usr/.smdb./*.inv


(2) rmfdmn is in /sbin and are part of the base advfs package
(OSFADVFS410). In my case setld believed the file to have been installed:

(3) There should be a copy on the 4.0B CD -- since
there's a bootable UNIX OS there.

(4) Nobody recommended using the 4.0D version

(5) One person said that rmfdmn was the same program as rmfset and
migrate, but this is not true on our systems here.

What I actually did was found a backup tape for a different system
that used to run 4.0B, and loaded /sbin/rmfdmn from that. It had the same
timestamp as rmfset, which was encouraging.

On our site this is easier than getting hold of the installation CD
(one copy for the whole college, sigh).

Thanks for all the help,
Bob
