Right.  portmap, nfslock and nfsd must be running on the server:

	service portmap start	(starts portmapper)
	service nfslock start	(starts lockd and statd)
	service nfs start	(starts nfsd, mountd and quotad)

On the client:

	service portmap start	(starts portmapper)
	service netfs start	(mounts NFS filesystems in /etc/fstab)

And you must "exportfs -a" on the server any time you modify
/etc/exports on the server.
