+The @code{(gnu services nfs)} module provides the following services,

+file systems.
 
 @subsubheading RPC Bind Service

-The @code{(gnu services nfs)} module provides the following:
+The RPC Bind service provides a facility to map program numbers into
+universal addresses.
+Many NFS related services use this facility.  Hence it is automatically
+started when a dependent service starts.

address@hidden Pipefs Pseudo File System
address@hidden pipefs
address@hidden rpc_pipefs
+
+The pipefs file system is used to transfer NFS related data

address@hidden {Scheme Variable} pipefs-service-type
+A service type for the pipefs pseudo file system.
address@hidden defvr

address@hidden {Data Type} pipefs-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration of the pipefs pseudo file system 
service.
+This type has the following parameters:
address@hidden @asis
address@hidden @code{mount-point} (default: @code{"/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs"})
+The directory to which the file system is to be attached.

address@hidden GSS Daemon Service
address@hidden GSSD
address@hidden GSS
+
+The GSS daemon provides strong security for RPC based protocols.
+Before exchanging RPC requests an RPC client must establish a security
+context.  Typically this is done using the Kerberos command @command{kinit}
+or automatically at login time using PAM services.
+ 
address@hidden {Scheme Variable} gss-service-type
+A service type for the Global Security System (GSS) daemon.
address@hidden defvr

address@hidden {Data Type} gss-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration of the GSS daemon service.
+This type has the following parameters:
address@hidden @asis
address@hidden @code{nfs-utils} (default: @code{nfs-utils})
+The package in which the @command{rpc.gssd} command is to be found.
+
address@hidden @code{pipefs-dir} (default: @code{"/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs"})
+The directory where the pipefs file system is mounted.

address@hidden IDMAP Daemon Service
address@hidden idmapd
address@hidden name mapper
+
+The idmap daemon service provides mapping between user IDs and user names.
+Typically it is required in order to access file systems mounted via NFSv4.
+

address@hidden @code{pipefs-dir} (default: @code{"/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs"})
+The directory where the pipefs file system is mounted.
+
address@hidden @code{domain} (default: @code{#f})
+The local NFSv4 domain name.
+This must be a string or @code{#f}.
+If it is @code{#f} then the daemon will use the host's fully qualified domain 
name.
