nfs file mounting

[Scott Howell]

Folks,

I'm trying to mount a directory over the network from my Linux box to my 
Mac. I have setup nfs in the kernel which I'm using the kernel nfs 
instead of the traditional nfs tools and hopefully this doesn't make any 
difference. In any event I setup the exports file per the man pages and 
got no complaints when running exports. What I can't seem to do is get 
it to mount and I get an error that says the directory on that machine 
doesn't exist. Ok not the exact words, but this is essentially what the 
problem is. I'm sure cause I have gotten nfs to work in the past, that I 
am overlooking something and probably something simple. What would cause 
the nfs to mount to fail?
I am not sure, but I believe as this is built into the kernel I'm not 
going to use the rpc daemon, but maybe I'm wrong and if so, please let 
me know.
