The initial submission of this report referred to the nfsiod daemons. They can be disabled as I described above, but the following also sounds like a good idea: > How about having /etc/sysctl.conf default to disabling both nfs client > and server, and when sysinstall nfs enable question is answered as yes > then remove the correct entry from /etc/sysctl.conf as part of the > sysinstall process. This sounds like the correct solution to me.
