Hi all,

I've been trying to set up my NetBSD machine as an NFS server so that I 
can NFS Mount stuff onto my OS X machine.

I've read the man pages and followed several instructions on the web, 
but nothing quite seems to work. The problem of course could be with the 
OS X machine, but I'll show you what I've done, and where I might be 
going wrong:

/etc/exports
/home/matthew/public_html       maproot=root:wheel      192.168.1.3 # 
That's the IP of the OS X Machine.

Everything I've read seems to suggest different things in this file.

/etc/inetd.conf
# All RPC services commented out and inetd restarted.

`/etc/rc.d/nfsd start' doesn't work, but `/usr/sbin/nfsd -tun 4' does 
indeed start the nfsd server.

I also ran `/usr/sbin/mountd', which doesn't seem to start the mount 
daemon.

Doing `mount_nfs sonic:/home/matthew/public_html Mount' from my OS X 
machine gives the following error:

	NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
	NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

etc, etc.

Furthermore, all of the guides on the web are geared towards GNU/Linux 
systems which seem to have additional mysterious rpc daemons.

Any help and pointers will be very much appreciated.

All the best.
