Thanks Mike,
 all it took was putting something in the  /etc/export  file

and then:
[root corni /etc]# killall -HUP rpc.nfsd rpc.mountd
rpc.nfsd: no process killed
rpc.mountd: no process killed
[root corni /etc]#
so that didnt seem to do anything, but the following did:

[root corni /etc]#  /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap stop
Stopping portmap services:                                 [  OK  ]
[root corni /etc]#  /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
Shutting down NFS services:                                [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [FAILED]
[root corni /etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start
Starting portmapper:                                       [  OK  ]
[root corni /etc]#  /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
[root corni /etc]#

the system now seems to respond appropriately

and  now I do see a response out of  pstree:

[root corni /etc]# pstree |grep nfs
    |-8*[nfsd]
[root corni /etc]# pstree |grep mountd
    |-rpc.mountd
[root corni /etc]# pstree |grep portmap
    |-portmap
[root corni /etc]#


thanks again
Jack
