I am trying to set up NFS between two FreeBSD machines and am having a
few problems.

The only help and info I have found in setting up NFS is from news articles
from the freebsd web site and even that doesnt seem very helpful.

What I have tried to do is this:

On the machine that I want to share a directory in I have created an
/etc/exports file and have put in that file the following line:

/usr/local/webpages riker.comcirc.com.au

where /usr/local/webpages is the directory I want to access from the hostname
riker.comcirc.com.au

Then I have run nfsd ( as root ).

On the machine I want to mount the remote filesystem on ( 
riker.comcirc.com.au ) I type the following line ( as root also ):

mount troi.comcirc.com.au:/usr/local/webpages /mnt

where troi.comcirc.com.au is the remote machine running nfsd

When I run this command I get the following message and nothing happens:

NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registerd

I get the following error when I run showmount -e troi on the remote machine:

Program not registered Cant do exports rpc

I was wondering if someone could tell me what these messages mean and how I
go about getting NFS up and running.

Regards,

Paul.
