Hi,
I'm currently running Warty, so ignore me if this has already been
changed for Hoary...
I just installed nfs-kernel-server, and had to a little poking to work
out that it wasn't working because portmap was still configured to bind
only to the loopback interface. This was simple enough to change once
I'd worked it out, but as these are Ubuntu-supported packages I wonder
if there is a way to automate this.
I guess you could argue that anyone that wants to expose NFS shares
should understand this stuff anyway, but I certainly don't see why you
would install an NFS server without wanting to expose the shares beyond
localhost...
(I'm also learning about the Debian packaging system - having come from
non-Debian distros - and am curious in general to know if there's an
elegant approach to this kind of need to reconfigure another package?)
Cheers,
Sean
