I'm attempting to mount it to a Solaris 8 system. I have the export line set as /opt *(sync,rw). I see the exports with showmount -e as I should. I watch the messages file via tail -f and I see the other system authenticated by mount, but the directory never mounts. The Solaris system mounts other unix systems fine, as well as a RH 7.3 system, so I don't think it is the problem. I tried to mount the file system of the host under the host itself. No dice. Does anyone have another suggestion of something I have forgotten? I verified that rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd are both running on the server side.

You will need to add the following entries to your /etc/hosts.allow file:

portmap: hosts
lockd: hosts
mountd: hosts
rquotad: hosts
statd: hosts

where hosts are your NFS clients (see man hosts_access).  Earlier
versions of RedHat did not include tcpwrappers so extensively.

Cheers

Adam
