A/UX: How to Make an NFS Daemon Run (9/94)


My NFS daemon isn't running. Why not?

Was the nfs daemon started in /etc/inittab? If not, follow these steps:

1) Log on as "root".

2) Edit the file /etc/inittab

3) Change the line

nfs3:2:off:/etc/nfsd 4 # set to "wait" for NFS server

to:

nfs3:2:wait:/etc/nfsd 4 # set to "wait" for NFS server

4) Enter the line: telinit q

5) Enter the line: ps -ef | grep nfsd (or, ps-a | grep nfsd in the C shell)

The output should resemble the following:

root 93 1 0 10:00:34? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 94 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 95 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 96 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4

Note that the numbers in the columns may differ on your system.
