Hi all! I've managed to get nfs4 working; the server is Fedora Core 5, and the clients are RHEL 4 (VMware guests on the FC5 system). Now I would like to disable those nfs-related daemons that I don't actually need. Does anyone know of a web page that succinctly describes how the following daemons relate to one another and which are actually required on the clients and the server for NFS version 4? The daemons are: init script executable(s) ----------- ------------- portmap portmap nfs rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd, rpc.rquotad nfslock rpc.statd rpcgssd rpc.gssd rpcidmapd rpc.idmapd rpcsvcgssd rpc.svcgssd Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i.pilcher@comcast.net ======================================================================== Back to top Stan Omoregie Guest Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 4:24 pm    Post subject: Re: NFS daemons - which are required?

With NFS, there are some complications with regard to port mapping. It is always adviceable to map the services such as rquotad, portmap, rpc.lockd, rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd and rpc.statd to specified ports. This will help in the total control of your NFS server through a firewall. Read more here: www.lowth.com/LinWiz/1.09/notes/nfs_help.php?popup=1 Cheers!
