nfsd has to run on the server ( the one where the filesys. phisically is on disk )
if you have no shares in the exports file, nfsd won't be started. ( you don't need it then eh... )

Rep:
Should Slack have a port open for NFS? Mine does not. Port 2049 is open on my Fedora box for NFS. I used nmap on each pc to find out the available ports.
Oh, my Fedora box is the server and has the nfsd process going-so that should be ok then.
i still have to learn how to write iptables-rules.
i use guarddog, and just allowed nfs on the lan.
you can check ports yourself.
start " iptraf " in a console ( as root; monitoring your lan-nic ),
and switch off the firewall.
then mount the nfs and you'll see wich ports are used.
