keyserv Daemon Disables Some File System Services (5084183)

On systems that do not use Network Information Service (NIS) or NIS+ name service, the NFS and autofs services are disabled. The failure is due to these services' dependency on the keyserv daemon. The keyserv daemon relies on the RPC domain name, which is not set on systems that do not use NIS or NIS+. Consequently, the failure of the keyserv daemon causes the NFS and autofs services to become disabled.

Workaround: To enable the services, perform the following steps:

1. Become superuser.

2. Issue the following commands:

   # svcadm disable network/rpc/keyserv # svcadm disable -t network/nfs/client:default # svcadm enable network/nfs/client:default # svcadm disable -t network/nfs/server:default # svcadm enable network/nfs/server:default # svcadm disable -t network/rpc/gss:ticotsord # svcadm enable network/rpc/gss:ticotsord
