Ideas for samba and nfs

[Eric Wick]

Two ideas for next release

- Samba should be totally switched off by config, if it's not needed we save memory

- NFS should forget unclear mounted clients, i have 6 months old shares in the status page that survive even reboots.

I don't understand what do you mean. If you don't want samba, can't you just disable it?

Yes, that is an "issue" (a NFS feature, indeed).

I can provide a button to clear those stale entries in /var/lib/nfs/rmtab, if you fill-in an issue report http://code.google.com/p/alt-f/issues/list

See http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=6732

Thanks

In my box the smbd and nmbd is always forced running after reboot, can someone else check this please? I have shutdown'd the processes now with init and placed a 'exit 0' in the initscript to solve this.

For nfs i file the report.

Ah, OK, you can't disable it. I will fix that.

Having it always enabled help users to "locate" the box when using MS-Windows, as the box appears in the MS-W network explorer.

And as a security measure some services can't be boot disabled.

Thanks
