Starting the rpc.pcnfsd daemon

To start the rpc.pcnfsd daemon using a directory that is different from the default:

1. Use a text editor to add the following entry to the /etc/rc.nfs file:

   if [ -f /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd ] ; then
   /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd -s spooldir ; echo ' rpc.pcnfsd\c'
   fi

   where spooldir specifies the full path name of the spool directory.
2. Save the file and exit the text editor.
3. Using a text editor, comment the following entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file:

   #pcnfsd sunrpc_udp udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd pcnfsd 150001 1

   Placing a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line prevents the inetd daemon from starting the rpc.pcnfsd daemon using the default spool directory.
4. Start the rpc.pcnfsd daemon print spooler by typing the following at the command line:

   /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd -s spooldir

   where spooldir specifies the full path name of the spool directory.
