If you comment out the rpc.mountd and rpc.statd sections of /etc/init.d/nfs (or back up /etc/init.d/nfs and delete them), can you still mount your shares? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
