Hi all, Just some nitpicks about the NFS-Utils page.
It gives some information about TCP wrappers that could probably be a bit better. 1. It does not list TCP Wrappers as an optional dependency, though it could be argued that because Portmap is identified as a run-time requirement (and it requires wrappers) that it isn't needed. My thoughts are since Portmap is runtime only, that Wrappers should be listed. 2. The --enable-tcp-wrappers option does not need to be described in the command explanation section. It is built into the tools if configure finds it. If anything you need to specifically *disable* it, not enable it. 3. The note about ensuring your /etc/hosts.allow file needs to be modified to not say "If you enabled" as we don't enable it by any special means. It should probably say "If TCP Wrappers is installed, ensure ... ================================================ I'm confused with the boot script language. It says on the new client page for NFS-Utils to only install and run the bootscripts if you want the *server*, yet on the server page it says the bootscripts are used for *client tools*. Confusing to me. ================================================= The dependencies could be listed a bit cleaner (using standard comma delimited lists). Here's a suggestion: Optional for NFSv4 Support pkg-config-0.22, libevent, and libnsfidmap Optional for GSS (RPC Security) Support pkg-config-0.22, MIT Kerberos V5-1.6 or Heimdal-0.8.1 or libgssapi, and librpcsecgss Optional for SPKM-3 Support SPKM-3 ================================================== The note for if you want the utils installed in /sbin should be right after the configure and make commands and before the para about the test suite. And it's my opinion that a note box is not even necessary and a simple paragraph would suffice. ================================================== The <server-name> should be in <replaceable> tags in both lines. See the IP address/subnet mask example a bit earlier in the instructions for an example. ================================================== The list of installed programs should be alphabetized, and as best as I can tell the (,u)mount.nfs4 files are installed by default and therefore should be listed as well. =================================================== In the start-statd description it says "is a script called by nfsmount ...".
