I've read Stoyan's reply, so I know that this fixed the problem.
However, I don't think you need to uninstall NAS. Besides, you'll need
it to run NAS-aware programs. Surely you can simply say:

   /etc/init.d/nas stop

or whatever the name is (don't have access to the machine right now).
Stoyan, I suggest you reinstall NAS and try this.
