Werk #9513: Enable rpcbind and winbind only when needed

Component Firmware
Title Enable rpcbind and winbind only when needed
Date Feb 12, 2023
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.6.2

The rpcbind daemon is only needed when NFS mounts are configured on the appliance. For this reason we only enable & start the daemon in case it is needed.

The winbind is never used by the appliance, even when CIFS mounts are configured. Therefore we have disabled the daemon now.
