Subject: NetBSD Box as NFS Server - please help
Date: 15 Nov 1995 16:39:43 GMT

I have a new PC (pentium) on which I installed NetBSD 1.0. Everything works fine now
except NFS. I try to export /usr/home from the NetBSD box to mount it
on a HP running NEXTSTEP. I did the following:

/etc/exports has a line
/usr/home trillian

where trillian is the name of the NEXTSTEP box.

/etc/netstart has nfs_server flag set to yes.

When I do a ps -aux on the PC, I don't see an nfsd job. Is this normal?
When I boot the PC, it starts the nfsd and does not complain about any errors.
When I start the nfsd by hand as root (nfsd -tun 4) I get a message on the
console:
	nfssvc: Function not implemented
	can't Add UDP socket

When I try to mount the dir on the HP (mount pc:/usr/home /usr/home) I get
a 'NFS server does not respond' message.

Could somebody help? What I'm I doing wrong?

Thanks,

-Dan

PS: Another problem: the PC hangs when I do 'reboot' ('rebooting...' then it hangs....).
