Messed with firewall and netfs

[jtmo3]

Can someone tell me the default runlevels in the firewall for the netfs service. I messed with it and rather than enable it, I would like to set it back to default. Thanks.

Hello jtmo3,

I think you're talking about services and not the firewall. I forgot what the default setting for netfs is, but you don't need to enable it unless your computer is connected to a local network. In fact, there very likely are several other services that you can disable to speed up booting and reduce the number of background services running. Here is a useful guide for that for Fedora 12...

mjmwired has been publishing those for Fedora for a long time. There are other guides for other Fedora versions, but they're generally all the same unless you've installed a really old version of Fedora.

# grep Default- /etc/init.d/iptables
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6

chkconfig [on|off\ will set the defaults.

Yes, you are correct, it is the services. Sorry, it was late. I am on a home lan and connect to a couple shares once in a while. Nothing on boot though. Should I disable this service or leave it set at run level 3,4,5? Is it needed to mount shares after boot? I'm still trying to learn this coming from a windows & mac enviornment. Thanks for the help.

It is used for automatic mounting of any shared network file space such as NFS, Samba, etc on bootup. So if you need that functionality, keep it enabled.
