thanx so much for helping ..
after running nfsd manually i.e rpc.nfsd 8 ( in /usr/sbin) and after that rpcinfo -p , I am getting the following output.
PROGRAM VERS PROTO PORT
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32768 status
100024 1 tcp 32768 status
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100021 1 udp 32770 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32770 ,,
100021 4 udp 32770 ,,
but without manually running rpc.nfsd 8 i get only the portmapper and status lines( total 4) .......
what is the problem..CUD it be that my rpc.nfsd is in /usr/sbin and I have installed the binaries in /sbin.........
Do reply
Also here is what my /proc/fs/nfs shows (actually nothing)
# version 1.0
# Path Client (Flags) # IPs
Bye
