[Q2] Stupid but non-FAQ NFS question #2:
Thanks for the help of finding out the rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, rcp.nfsd.
Still, after reading the NFS-FAQ, Linux Network Admin Guide, none of these guys
seem to work at all. I still get the message of RPC fault: program is not
registered. I guess I really need a cookbook example.

Let's say I have machines A and B which both of them can telnet and ftp to each
other. In other words, they are properly connected. Now, this is how I did.
I add three statements at the begninning of the rc.inet2 at machine A:

/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
/bin/mount -t nfs B:/home /mnt

Then, I add /mnt B[rw] at /etc/exports at machine A.
Then, reboot machine A, and it prompts RPC fault: program is not registered.
Can anyone provide me an idiot-proof way of attacking this? Thanks.
BTW, someone mention "premeter". What is that?

rpc.portmap, rpc.mountd, and rpc.nfsd need to be running on the machine
whose drives you want to NFS mount. If I follow your explanation, you
need them running on machine B. Then, from machine A, issue the
mount -t nfs B:/home /mnt
command. Also, you need the line:
/home A(rw)
in B's /etc/exports file.

'perfmeter' is an X program that resembles 'xload'. If you wish to use
perfmeter, you need to also run 'rpc.rstatd'.
