Enabling or disabling the pcnfsd daemon

Purpose of enabling pcnfsd

Enable the pcnfsd daemon if you want the filer to authenticate (PC)NFS users when they try to mount resources from the filer. If you want another computer to authenticate users, you do not need to enable the pcnfsd daemon. Users authenticated by other computers can access resources on the filer in the same way as users authenticated by the filer.

Prerequisite for enabling the pcnfsd daemon

NFS must be enabled on the filer before you can enable the pcnfsd daemon.
