Don't forget that you need 'portmap' to use 'nfs' properly.

If i remember my redhat dir structure, you should be able to look at /etc/init.d/RC#.d where # is one of {1,2,3,4,5}* and see what starts at a given runlevel.

Though my brain has faltered, if you can find some information, you effectively know it, so here's what i found:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html

Chapter 9.3 gives a good understanding of the init.d behaviour

For your purpose: look for NFSD and Portmap scripts in your runlevels.

*Somebody check this last sentence, as it's been a long time since i used redhat

That sounds right Thomas, you need nfsd and portmap running in order to export nfs directories.

Red Hat has a very usefull 'setup' tool that gives you a curses based app that will let you easily modify many system setting, including services.

Also don't be alarmed that for every connection it starts a new nfsd process

Dear Steven,
another time you suggest to set the start of a daemon for 1,2,3,4,5 runlevel...

The correct runlevel for this (and the majority of net daemon) is 3,4,5.
