The rule is this:
On boot, the NeXT checks to see if there is anything to export, based
on the contents of the /ets/exports file. If this file is missing (or
empty??), the NeXT does NOT run the special daemons (nfsd, ...) to handle
nfs mounts. 

So...

If you add a /etc/exports file to a running NeXT, the easiest thing to
do is re-boot the computer. I have tried to figure out which daemons
to run, and tried to remember, but it is really easier to just re-boot.

After the re-boot, the NeXT will be running everything necessary to 
support nfs mounting. (Note that Sun servers also exhibit this
"feature" for their nfs daemons.)

Hope this helps...
