Configuring the Other NFS Daemons and
Services
If you want to use some of the other NFS services, like the Remote
Execution Facility (REX) or the rup(1) and rusers(1) commands, this
section tells you how to enable those daemons and services. This section
tells you how to perform the following tasks:
• To Enable the Other NFS Services
• To Restrict Access to the Other NFS Services
To Enable the Other NFS Services
1. In the /etc/inetd.conf file, use a text editor to uncomment the
lines that begin with “rpc.” (Delete the sharp sign [#] in the first
column.)
If the lines do not exist, type them into the /etc/inetd.conf file.
Table 2-7 gives the line you need to enter for each NFS service.
2. If NFS is not yet running on your system, issue the following
command:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
3. Issue the following command to force inetd to read its configuration
file:
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
CAUTION Do not issue the /usr/sbin/inetd command if NFS is not yet running
on your system. The NFS startup script starts the rpcbind(1M) process,
which must be running before you start inetd.
Table 2-7 lists the NFS daemons and services that can be started by the
inetd daemon. It briefly describes each one and tells you which man
pages you can read for more information. It also gives the line that
configures each service in the inetd.conf file.
You cannot use SAM to enable the other NFS services.
