In case of killing the nsrmmd does not work, there is no alternative, You have
to restart the networker application or -even worse- reboot the networker
server.
If truss and fuser gives no associated processes to investigate on, there is no
other way.

I tried that by using fuser to see which process is accessing the relevant
device file, then "kill -9" that process. No other process replaces the killed
one when I check fuser again and the device remains in the idle status. I also
tried going into nwadmin, selecting the particular device resource, then
setting the minor mode to "done" but that has no effect either. I really need
to free up four devices that seem to be "stuck" but I can't reboot or restart
the nsr processes because we are doing some other backups and right in the
middle of a DR audit that requires a lot of data to be recovered from tape, so
I don't want to interrupt that activity.
