nfs-server startup
 

In redhat I have to start these manually, is there a way of getting them to start on boot

rpc.portmap
rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd
rpc.statd, and rpc.rquotad

you should have an /etc/init.d/nfs file, which you can run automatically:

/etc/init.d/nfs start

if that works then you can use redhat-configure-services (i think) or chkconfig to add these to the boot procedure

thanks that worked a treat
