NFS problem

[matthew mills]

I am trying to configure an NFS server. but when I run
$showmount -e on the server I get the error "showmount: ngbva: RPC: Program not registered". I also noticed that the rpc.mountd is not running. how do I start it? I stoed and started nfs.core nfs.client and nfs.server and they start fine. thanks in abvance.

these are myfiles:

(/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf)
NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1

(/etc/exports)
/home -access=copva

$ps -e
624 ? 0:00 rpcbind
660 ? 0:00 rpc.statd
666 ? 0:00 rpc.lockd
1630 ? 0:00 nfsd

Check for this in your nfsconf file:

START_MOUNTD=1

rpc.mountd can be started at boot time by setting the variable
NFS_SERVER to 1 in the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
