Silly enough, fam requires portmap, and fam is used by KDE (and nautilus too i think) to monitor file-changes. It can also poll the disks if fam is not running, but this is worse for performance.
drakxservices should (IMO) auto-enable portmap is fam is enabled. (and autodisable fam if there is no portmap) Danny On Sunday 26 January 2003 13:05, Robert Fox wrote: > Besides NFS and NIS - what good is having Portmap running? > > Can I shut it down if I don't start NFS/NIS without causing any side > effects? > > Thanks, > R.Fox
