Thanks for your response!  

ok I tried that command and then started the system back up.  However, My firewall is still giving me this message in the security checker area;

On most servers nfslock is not needed and should be stopped and disabled from starting, as it could pose a security threat. This service is currently enabled in init and can be disabled using:
service nfslock stop
chkconfig nfslock off

Is there a way to disable it in init?  Because even after startup, i still can't run these commands to get it to stop and disable.   Even if it is disabled, something is still telling the system or firewall that it is still enabled.
chkconfig does the same, disable service  during System startup. can you copy the paste the log from which your observing  ->  something is still telling the system or firewall that it is still enabled.

i got it working.  Contacted Firewall devs and they got the message to go away.
finally just used chkconfig nfslock off only and that worked
