Starting with 2.2.18, lockd is called by nfsd upon demand, so you do not need to worry about starting it yourself. statd will need to be started separately. Most recent Linux distributions will have startup scripts for these daemons." and, i can find no stmt that "port 762" is NFS_related. it may be there -- i'm just not finding it. also, dl'ing the source tarball @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs/, tar xjvf nfs-utils-1.2.3.tar.bz2 cat nfs-utils-1.2.3/NEWS Significant changes for nfs-utils 1.1.0 - March/April 2007 - rpc.lockd is gone. One 3 old kernel releases need it. !! - rpc.rquotad is gone. Use the one from the 'quota' package. Everone else does. ... looking to suse, @ https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=quota.spec&package=quota&project=Base%3ASystem well, that's _your_ spec. checking @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota/, cd quota-tools/ grep quotad `grep -rlni quotad .` i see plenty of rquotad, but no 'just' quotad, and no mention in the sources of port 762 at all. again, i may well be wrong/blind, but, where is there any info, other than the fact that suse seems to use it, that says quotad is, in fact, the same as rquotad? i.e., _should_ quotad in /etc/services be used at all? p.s. hm, here, http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/NFS-Van.html, i find reference to rquotad at port 762. hmm. i'm more confused. bottom line -- allow *all* NFS_related ports to be easily spec'd/overridden in /etc/sysconfig/nfs. then the defaults -- whether dynamic, quotad, or something else -- simply don't matter to me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
