[NTLUG:Discuss] nfsiod ?

[Michael Sandfort]

Sorry, I should have said that I'm running RedHat. I'm accustomed to 
being able to manage services with inetd.conf, but I guess nfs isn't 
really a service. I poked around in /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs, but it wasn't 
clear how to shut it down (or keep it from starting) apart from deleting 
or moving the zero-length file /etc/exports. Is this the way to do it?

Thanks again,
Mike
