Actually, I find the "authenticated mount request from..."  message
useful in tracking down strange but nonfatal bugs on busy servers with
many mounts from many clients.  Not all NFS or RPC error messages
tell you which client was involved, so correlating those messages
with mount messages can help narrow the list.

But the other 3 are noise.
