NFS HOWTO
I have put this HOWTO together from various sources which I will list at the end. I will discuss the process of setting up a server and using a client.
On Debian type systems you can install the the packages as shown below:
sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
If you need to reconfigure the portmap run the next two commands. Do not bind to loopback.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart
