Ok, I don't have the origional post in my email so I am replying via a reply
cutting and pasting from the archives list web page.

reading the script, reading the man pages, and looking at the ports using
netstat -l).
That behavior is set in the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file

It may not be a firewall issue, but NFS does use a different port. port "2049"
You got yourself a configuration issue! So, this is what I did:
On the server, in /etc/sysconfig/nfs be sure you set: SECURE_NFS="no" until
you are ready to take on kerveros authentication. While you are there you can
change which versions of NFS get mounted. I haven't had to change anything
else in that file.
Next, on both the sever and client, go into the /etc/idmap.conf and be sure to
set your "Domain =" to your domain name. and also set:
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
Now for the /etc/exports file
Lets say you keep everything in a /export directory. In there you have a home/
and a data directory... Well, the export file should look something like:
/export 192.168.0.*(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,insecure,sync)
/export/home 192.168.0.*(rw,no_subtree_check,insecure,sync)
/export/home 192.168.0.*(ro,no_subtree_check,insecure,sync)
Notice that the flags are different. Not the fsid=0 flag? Well that defines
the /export as the "root" NFS directory so you do not need to
included "/export" in the fstab or the mount string when mounting. There can
be more than one fsid flag as long as the numbers are unique but only fsid=0
sets the root directory. Other numbers allow different kerberos setups, or so
I understand.
Remember to restart NFS on the server!
Now to finish with the client, be sure you did the /etc/idmap.conf on the
client or you will get all sorts of strange results!
Edit the fstab file
If you want to mount just /export on the server to /mnt/nfs on the client the
fstab entry would look like:
server.dom:/ /mnt/nfs nfs4 rw,soft,intr,proto=tcp,port=2049 0 0
Notice there is NO /export . That is because of the fsid=0 flag. If you
included the /export it would deny the mount.
To mount the two directories:
server.dom:/home /home nfs4 rw,soft,intr,proto=tcp,port=2049 0 0
server.dom:/data /mnt/data nfs4 rw,soft,intr,proto=tcp,port=2049 0 0
again no /export
