Hi All,

I am having strange issues with NFS server on CentOS 7.2. I am unable to
restart the nfs-server:

[root at hostname ~]# systemctl restart nfs-server

** (pkttyagent:20603): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent:
Timeout was reached
Error registering authentication agent: Timeout was reached
(g-io-error-quark, 24)
Failed to restart nfs-server.service: Connection timed out

Googling doesn't seem to yield answers. How do I restart this service?

Sincerely,
Nurdiyana Ali.
