Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2005-571 Moderate: Nfs-Utils Update Details

fedora
Calendar Grey July 24, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Essential enhancement for Fedora Core 4 nfs-utils boosts efficiency and introduces additional command parameters for rpc.nfsd.
Updated package.

Summary

The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and

related tools, providing a much higher level of performance than the

traditional Linux NFS server used by most users.

This package also contains the showmount program. Showmount queries

the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the NFS

(Network File System) server on the remote host.

This patch make the '-p port' argument work as well as

adds the following command line arguments to rpc.nfsd:

-N or --no-nfs-version vers

This option can be used to request that rpc.nfsd does not offer

certain versions of NFS. The current version of rpc.nfsd can

support both NFS version 2,3 and the newer version 4.

-T or --no-tcp

Disable rpc.nfsd from accepting TCP connections from clients.

-U or --no-udp

Disable rpc.nfsd from accepting UDP connections from clients.

Note: the kernel functionality needed to support these patch is in 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4

- Add ctlbits patch that introduced the -N -T and -U

command line flags to rpc.nfsd.

* Thu Jun 16 2005 Steve Dickson 1.0.7-9

- Removed the chkconfig-ing of rpcsvcgssd since the

init script will bring the daemon up and down (bz 160570)
