are you exporting from just one machine to the other? the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs and /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd are - i think - for serving from
one machine to the 'receiving' machine, you need to have nfs-utils-clients on
the other machine, i assume you have installed either or both of nfs-utils or
nfs-utils-clients on the appropriate machines?
have you tried to mount manually?
'mount -t nfs machine.domain:/path/on/other/machine /path/on/this/machine'
also, in your fstab i notice that you have just 'john', assuming that is a
machine name i wonder if you need to use a domain name as well or make sure
you have aliases in your /etc/hosts file?
