Hello-I'm trying to setup an NFS server on Linux distribution 9.0 with kernel 2.4.20-8. I have read many documents, etc about NFS, but I'm stuck at a certain spot. My dilemma: when I follow your HOWTO, I get to step 3.3.2 "starting the portmapper" type "ps aux | grep portmap" and this is my output.

rpc 1766 0.0 0.0 1552 564? S Jun10 0:00 [portmap] username 5918 0.0 0.0 3572 640pts/2 S 09:40 0:00 portmap

Also--the next step will not work...when I type rpcinfo -p I get rpcinfo:
command not found. Is there a package that I missed? I did get the latest utilities download, but when I installed--I already had them with the new kernel. So I know it is not that problem.

Please help!

This looks ok, doesn't it?

No, rpcinfo (if you're using Redhat distribution v9.0) is in /usr/sbin/ which, if you've become root with the su command will not be in your path.

Typing /usr/sbin/rpcinfo should work.
