>Description:

rc.conf has as default mountd_flags="NO" which should be changed to either "" or "/etc/exports" because mountd expects an exports file named "NO".  Since there is no exports file named NO, it doenst register the service on the network and
clients cant mount.

>How-To-Repeat:

as long as mountd_flags="NO" and nfs_server_enable="YES"
the server will fail rpc reg.

>Fix:
	
change default config for mountd_flags from "NO" to "" or "/etc/exports"
