unable to start nfs daemon

unable to start nfs daemon

[kanagesh]

Hi,

I have linux (kernel 2.4.18) running on my embedded board
(StrongARM - SA1110 processor).

I am trying to mount a remote filesystem on the network from this board
(i.e) I need this board to behave as a NFS client.  I don't have an
ethernet
connection to this board, but I have it in the network through a PPP
connection
on the Serial port.  (I am able to ping, telnet and ftp into other
systems on the
network and vice-versa).

I had downloaded nfs-utils rpm for arm and I got it installed aswell.
But when I try to start the nfs daemon (on the command line, by typing
./rpc.nfsd ), it fails
with the following complaint:

nfssvc: Function not impelmented.

could anyone tell me what I need to do?  I've checked up with other
mailing list archives
and it looks as though this was a problem with the 2.2.x kernel
series......

1. My Kernel has been compiled with support for NFS (I can see an entry
for nfs in /proc/filesystems)

2. Do I need to run a portmap daemon in addition to nfsd?  (Sorry, I
don't have rpcinfo for the arm target
and hence am unable to provide info on the daemons running)

Regards,
Kanagesh
