I get an error because there is no /etc/init.d/portmap script. Portmap is
just not there.
# chkconfig portmap on
error reading information on service portmap: No such file or directory

# service portmap start
portmap: unrecognized service

Like everyone else, I did a bunch of packages selection and de-selections
during the
install. So I'm scratching my head: what causes portmap to be excluded? How
do I get
it in my FC7 box?

I've done this NFS thing with RedHat and with previous FC releases. So I'm
confused: what's with FC7 and portmap? The answer might be simple but it's
eluding me.

Thanks Craig.
