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.
