Since NFS and CIFS appeared as skipped services in runlevel 5, I turned them off with chkconfig. Then rpcbind service failed to start in runlevel 5, so I turned it off as well. Is rpcbind supposed to be enabled? According to man, “the rpcbind utility is a server that converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses. It must be running on the host to be able to make RPC calls on a server on that machine.”

RPC is needed if you need NFS.
