I have installed all the utilities on both machines. I started
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd and /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs on the "exporting" machine.
Do have to do something to start nfs-utils-clients on the receiving machine?
Do all of these need to be working at all times?
Can I use a simple script to start all of this automatically at boot?

When I try to mount manually, I get: machine_name:/usr failed, reason given
by server : Permission denied.

/etc/hosts on machine one contains :
192.168.x.1x localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.x.2x macine_two_name
/etc/hosts on machine two contains :
192.168.X.2X localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 localhost
192..168.X.1X machine_one_name
Does any of this help??
