The tool you need is nfs-utils, if you do a # rpm -qi --provides nfs-utils you will get output of which software it provides, and some info about the package. Most of the nfs service is handled by the kernel: "Summary : NFS utlilities and supporting clients and daemons for the kernel NFS server."
I hope this helps you one step further

There isn't much to setting up a simple NFS fileserver and client mount. Set up /etc/exports on the server (this assumes your client is 192.168.0.3)
/whatever/where-ever/ 192.168.0.3(rw)
Start the nfs service. Create a mount point on the client
"mkdir /mnt/fileserver"
then mount the fileserver there.
"mount fileserver:/whatever/where-ever/ /mnt/fileserver"
OK, I made a fresh start on this and installed two vanilla CentOS 5.3 systems (GNOME desktops, no tweaks or whatsoever) on two sandbox machines in my LAN. Everything works all right, out of the box, like a charm.
Now I'd like to explore things NFS a little further, and the next question is: starting from a bare bones minimal system, what packages do I need to make NFS work a) on the server side, and b) on the client side? For example, in order to use DHCP on my network, I installed the dhcp package for a DHCP server, and then on the clients I'm using dhclient (already included in the minimum base install).
I have quite some documentation here for CentOS / RHEL, but curiously enough, none seems to mention the needed packages to make NFS work.
The reason I'm asking: usually I like to install only what's needed.
Any suggestions ?
