I'm trying to use an ultrix machine running 4.2BSD as an NFS server for my
386 box running 386BSD running 4.3BSD.  On the server I've modified
/etc/exports
and started portmap, mountd, and nfsd.  On the client I've modified
/etc/fstab
and insured the mount -t nfs is there.  Now, when the mount -t nfs command
is
issued, it returns:

Mount RPC error on raven:/tmp/jay: Permission denied

In Essential System Administration by ORA it talks about the exportfs
program
that has to be run after modifying /etc/exports (Suns only, I think....)
but
there is no such program that I can find on the server or in the man pages.
The man pages do allude to a '/etc/netgroup' file that controls NFS mount
permissions, however there is no default file present and the man pages say
nothing about how the security is determined.

So, anyone out there with a helpful hint?
