All, I've successfully installed Linux RedHat 5.2 on two PCs. After setting
up Samba to connect a Win 98 box no problems I was going to try and setup NFS
between the 2 Linux boxes, but to my surprise I don't have mountd nor nfsd in
\etc\sbin or \etc\bin.	I installed Linux using defaults options which I
thought would include NFS as well. I can ping each other and can telnet one
another so TCP is not a problem. Using ps aux indicates Portmapper is running
but when I run rpcinfo -p  all I get is two instances of rpcbind to port 111.
So what's the problem? Why is mountd & nfsd not installed? I assume it was
never installed in the first place? If so how do I install it - are they in a
rpm package? Any info would be very much appreciated.

Timbo.
