[NTLUG:Discuss] nfsiod ?

[Bug Hunter]

 if you are running redhat 6.1, run 

setup

 from the command line.  this will allow you to turn nfs off permanently.

 otherwise, to turn off immediately run

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop

 to start

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

 to restart (after changing exports)

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart
