I'll add it as an optional dependency, but it's up the the user to determine how to configure optional dependencies.

Yes, I had to do that too. It just didn't make it into the book. > - If you are running rpcbind with tcpwrappers, you should add 'rpcbind: > 127.0.0.1' to /etc/hosts.allow to be able to start nfsd. OK, I'll add a note. If I use wrappers at all, I use ALL: ALL. I just don't see what it gives that I can't do with iptables. > With that, I got it all running. Thanks for untangling the rpc-mess! Yes, it was a mess. Thanks for the report.
