My workstation is CentOS 4. I reloaded it to get rid of the FC3 installation at the front of the main drive and recover some space on the second drive moving CentOS to the main drive. Everything else works wonderfully as advertised. The following is the only feedback I'm getting when attempting to mount the share from the FC3 server. (the shares on the file server mount perfectly)
In the server's /etc/exports, try adding "insecure" to the general option list, e.g.,
/foo/bar 192.168.10.0/24(rw,root_squash,insecure,sync)
The nfs client that ships with CentOS 4 uses a port number higher than 1024 by default, which isn't what most Linux systems expect.
After adding those options to the list the results are the same. Although I'm curious what "root_squash" does. If my assumption is correct it prevents root user on the client machine from authenticating, yes?

from exports manpage:
root_squash Map requests from uid/gid 0 to the anonymous uid/gid. Note that this does not apply to any other uids that might be equally sensitive, such as user bin.
and ...
no_root_squash Turn off root squashing. This option is mainly useful for diskless clients.
