From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: nfs-utils installs 5 different services in /etc/init.d If a sysadmin wants to start/stop/enable/disable NFS, all services have to be acted upon, plus portmap. That's 6 services, and i'm not sure if there aren't some more. This is overkill. There should be one, two at most, services to be tweaked using the chkconfig and service commands. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nfs-utils-1.0.6-20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.just try to start/stop/enable/disable NFS 2. 3. Additional info:
Although I do think you have a valid point.... its getting harder and harder to decouple NFS from the system, its not something we will be spending much time on. Now if a tool suddenly appears that eases the administration of NFS, that would be something of intrest....
