Here is the story gents.

I need to be able to export my file system so that I can mount it from
another machine (where I have temporary root access) and back up the whole
thing (I do not have enough disk space, and the other machine has 20 Gig
free).

So I create /etc/exports
(I have tried the following different entries (seperated here by line)

/ -rw -access=<machine.i.want.to.have.access>  
/ <machine.i.want.to.have.access>
/ access=<machine.i.want.to.have.access>
/ -mountroot=root <machine.i.want.to.have.access>

I have also created /etc/xtab with the same entries.

I run mountd
#mountd -n

and I always get back the following

Mar 12 23:29:36 myname mountd[2449]: Can't register mount
Mar 12 23:29:36 myname mountd[2449]: Can't register mount

When I do an rpcinfo i get the following

myname# rpcinfo -p localhost
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100001    1   udp   1024  rstatd
    100001    2   udp   1024  rstatd
    100001    3   udp   1024  rstatd
    100002    2   udp   1025  rusersd
    100002    3   udp   1025  rusersd
    100008    1   udp   1026  walld

If I go to the machine that I have temporary access to for this operation
I get the following when I try:

#mount <my.ip.address>:/ /root/<directory.i.want.to.mount.to>

mount: <my.ip.address>:/ server not responding: RPC: Program not
registered

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
