Re: Question on starting nfsd on a new installation...
Lincoln,
I do have /etc/exports setup. It reads something like
/usr/Next *(ro,<can't remember the other options>)
So, I'm exporting /usr/Next to anyone with the Read Only option. The
exportfs -a command doesn't complain. But it's when after I've created the
/etc/exports file and reboot that it hangs the machine when it gets to the
'loading nfsd' as described before.
Oh, and dnsdomainname is blank. I just wasn't sure if it should remain
blank, but it should in my environment since I don't have a domain
registered. Maybe I get that and domain (like set to WorkGroup) mixed up.
Thanks everyone,
George

George,
NFS uses the /etc/exports file for configuration. Type 'man exports'
for the gory details...
Your DNS domain name would be used only if you have a domain registered
to your static internet-addressable IP address, like georgebingham.net
or something. Then your machine would be old68kbox.georgebingham.net
(substitute your hostname for old68kbox). It doesn't sound like you do,
so this line should be blank.
The configuration files are under /etc/rc.d for starting your network
interfaces. 'man rc.d' and 'man inetd.conf' will give you some ideas on
how services are starting and how to configure them. /etc/inetd.conf
starts things like telnet and ftp. Be sure to back up any files in /etc
before modifying!
