hi... getting bold... thought i'd configure a basic nfs test... i have a rh8.0 with gnome. running gnome, i selected the nfs service, and walked through the process. i created a dir to use as the nfs dir, and i selected a machine on my network as the host. i then attempted to start the service.. and it never came back.... the "NFS SErver Configuration" dialog/app is grey... i did a "ps -ef" and got... root 14424 14198 0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 sh -c { /sbin/service nfs start root 14425 14424 0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /sbin/service nfs start root 14428 14425 0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/nfs start root 14438 14428 0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 initlog -q -c rpc.nfsd 8 root 14439 14438 0 14:25 ? 00:00:00 rpc.nfsd 8 i tried to start the NFS Service from the "Services Menu" as well...with no luck... so.. any ideas as to what's going on, and why things are hanging.... thanks for any assistance/pointers/comments... -bruce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
