problems with mountd

[Larry Battraw]

Hello all....

I've been playing with FreeBSD (2.0), and have been having some problems
trying to mount the local drive on Sun workstations over the net. As I
understand it, the daemon mountd is required, but whenever I try to start it,
it gives me something like "error [258] cannot register mountd"; similarly,
another net program (can't remember which) says it can't register with the udp
portmap. Mounting other machines' drives works great, I just can't get mine
to mount. Any ideas?

modify your /etc/netstart file

replace
nfs_server=NO
by
nfs_server=YES

install a /etc/exports file
and reboot your system.
