Since I had selected NFS4 I had expected the shares to be visible. When they weren't I tried opening 2049 to tcp and udp, but they were not saved, so I'm inclined to think that the gui NFS4 option had already done that. etc/sysconfig/nfs does exist, with everything commented out. The first section asks me to decide whether mountd is to use NFS_V1,2,or 3. In view of NFS4 being in s-c-securitylevel, this is confusing. The ports mentioned in the file are much lower than the ones in the link you provided, by which I assume that they are intended to obscure the purpose. Is it wise to start by accepting the ports in the file until everything works, then try mapping in higher ports?
