I posted this to Fedora List but no-one seems able to help? Since this is a problem that arose with a new version of rpcbind that was just released into updates for F7, and previously all was working fine for my nfs server, I am asking if anyone on this list can help, so apologies for cross-posting. After the recent rpcbind update in F7 I cannot restart nfs. Message below: # service nfs restart Shutting down NFS mountd: [FAILED] Shutting down NFS daemon: [FAILED] Shutting down NFS quotas: [FAILED] Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: Cannot register service: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak rpc.rquotad: unable to register (RQUOTAPROG, RQUOTAVERS, udp). [FAILED] Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED] Anyone know how to fix/workaround this?
