>Description:

Suppose you want to test something nfs-related, so you try to start
nfsd without fiddling with rc.conf.

   # /etc/rc.d/rpcbind onestart
   Starting rpcbind.
   # /etc/rc.d/mountd onestart
   Starting mountd.

So far so good...

   # /etc/rc.d/nfsd onestart
   /etc/rc.d/nfsd: WARNING: $mountd is not enabled.

Well, that's not unreasonable...

   # ps auxww | grep nfsd
   #

...except it didn't actually start!

(1) if it's going to be a fatal error it should not say WARNING;

(2) for onestart it shouldn't be a fatal error, or, better, it should
check whether mountd is running rather than whether it's enabled.

grr.

>How-To-Repeat:

as above

>Fix:

dunno
