I'm trying to share a folder from my FC3 workstation to be accessible from a RH9 box. I've added the following to my /etc/exports file on my FC3 machine:

/path/to/shared folder linuxsrv.domain.com(rw,async,root_squash)

after adding that, I run exportfs -a. Then from the RH9 box I run showmount -e FC3box, and I get the following error message:

mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered

I also get the same message it I run showmount -e FC3box from the FC3 box as well. I know that I'm missing something simple, but my searching hasn't revealed the answer yet. Thanks in advance.

Is the rpc.portmap process running?

how can i check?

I don't know the Redhat way. In slack I do
ps -A | grep portmap

This is my output:

[root@optiplex init.d]# ps -A | grep portmap
29365 ? 00:00:00 portmap
