Mike, 
thanks for the quick reply.  Portmapper does not start at boot (I don't
know why either), and I get no messages about this in any of the usual 
places (/var/log/messages, dmesg)  Anywhere else I might look for clues?

I manually started portmap and it starts and iseems to run, until I try to do
rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd, which appears to take portmap out.

I'm still baffled, and I have two boxes which won't serve nfs filesystems...
