Dear Experts,
sm-notify was taking a long time while my laptop booted. This was odd because I
use NFS only rarely - via autofs - on that machine, and sm-notify actually has
no-one to notify most of the time. So I have patched it as follows. Is this a
legitimate thing to do?
diff -ur nfs-utils-1.1.3.orig/utils/statd/sm-notify.c nfs-utils-1.1.3/utils/statd/sm-notify.c
