The sysvinit installation of Mandrake 7.2 beta, just like all its
predecessors, still fails to start the nfs daemon.
This means that remote machines are unable to get a mount of a local
file system at all - Permission Refused.
I have personally reported this a number of times, and am justifiably
angry that, again, noone effective at MandrakeSoft is acting. I must
say that portmap and nfs-clients are now installed and brought up,
which is great progress.
This situation plainly tells the world that no use of nfs is made
within MandrakeSoft development. How are files shared if there is
no networking? How can a package be tested without having the
context of all the other developers current work?
No-one would believe this if you tried to tell them.
The post-install fix is easy - ksysv and move nfs to runlevels 3 and
5 at, say, S27.
