NFS SERVER ENABLED

[Brett Penza]

Our HP900/k220 is running a couple of NFS folders to allow connection to our NT platforms. This has been working fine for years. Suddenly, twice in a week now, one of our users has not been able to connect to the unix folder from his MS/Windows95 PC. When troubleshooting with SAM we notice that the NFS Server is disabled. Once we enable it, he is fine again. Any ideas why the NFS Server function would be suddenly disabling itself.??? We haven't made any changes on the system that we know.

Hi,

If it is not enabled after a reboot, check the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file and make sure that the nfs_server variable is set to "1".

Also, nfs server gets started at run level 3 by default. If you are booting to run level 2 or have run the command "init 2", nfs server will not be turned on. You can verify that the default run level is 3 by inspecting /etc/inittab and looking for the "initdefault" line. You can check your current run level with "who -r"

check for and move out of the way any old copies of netconf still stored in the /etc/rc.config.d directory other than the current ie netconf.old or netconf.orig etc etc

Any change ?
