/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf entries

[TheJuiceman]

I am curious as to what the following entries in the nfsconf file do EXACTLY...

PCNFS_SERVER=0

AUTOMOUNT=0

STARTMOUNTD=0

Thanks.

AUTOMOUNT - It is used turn on and turn off auto mouting of file systems which configured in /etc/auto_master file. Read automount man page more.

# START_MOUNTD: 1 if rpc.mountd should be started by a system startup script.
# 0 if /etc/inetd.conf has an entry for mountd.
# Note: rpc.mountd should be started from a system startup script,
# however, it can be started from either nfs.server or inetd, and
# MUST only be configured in one place.

We can start mountd to support remote mount operations by starting from startup script or inetd with inetd.conf file.

PCNFS_SERVER -> Decides to support NFS service to ONC clients on PC (DOS, OS/2,Macintosh, and other) systems. Read man pcnfsd page.
