Hi,

I am busy trying to set up a 386BSD machine as an NFS server, but
have come up against a few problems.

On the server system I have changed the netstart script to make
it start the NFS server, and have found that it was necessary to
background mountd in /etc/rc.  I have also set up my exports
file.

Now when I try to mount from a remote system I get the error :
Cannot MNT PRC : RPC : Program not registered

I have tried reregistering nfsd with portmap, but have had no
luck.

Any suggestions?

(Please send replies by email to csgr@alpha.ru.ac.za)

Thanks,
Geoff.
