The linuxconfic Config->Networking->Server tasks->Exported File Systems tab modifies fstab but does not configure system to start knfsd at boot. This results in the configured directories not be accessible over the network at bootup until the user manually configures the system to start knfsd. Prior to RH 6.2 this was not likely an issue because knfsd was started automatically, and the result of adding a directory to the list was that the directory could be accessed via NFS from another machine. However RH 6.2 apparently no longer starts knfsd by default. The reference guide (http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-non-inst-new-feat-sysadmin.html) reads: I apologize if this turns out to be a duplicate. I searched for an earlier bug I put in relative to this several days ago but could not find it. John Sotack ********************************************************************** Services no longer run by default: To permit a more fine-tuned system configuration, Red Hat Linux 6.2 no longer runs the following services by default -- The automount daemon amd (in the am-utils RPM) The bind name server The dhcpd DHCP server The inn news server ------> The knfsd NFS server <---------------- The samba CIFS server used to support Windows-based file and print services To enable these services, either use chkconfig --level 35 <service-name> on, or edit the list of services to start with the ntsysv or tksysv utilities.
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
