how to get an NFS mount on audrey

i have been trying to get an NFS mount from my QNX6.0 PC to my audrey. this would facilitate pulling libraries and other files right off a full distribution. i have a few shares set on my main system, but i think that the audrey will like the NFS better, as its close to what it is already using.

its actually very simple. first thing, you create /etc/exports file using vi. my file is very simple- it has only a / on the first line. this tells Nfsd to share the root directory, allowing me full access to everything on the system. write and quit vi. then you run portmap and the Nfsd. note the capitol N in Nfsd. the folks at QNX mistakenly named it this. if you want, you could make a link to Nfsd from nfsd, to make the system like any other *nix type system. thats it! i need to find out which file to put a reference to these commands, as im not sure theyll start up on reboot.

If one of you would translate the previous instructions for a newbie I think that would help me do what I am trying to do.

OK- I figured out how to creat the exports file with just a "/" as its contents.
On the qnx pc i terninal i typed
#portmap
#Nfsd

Went to audrey and typed, in her terminal
#fs-nfs2 server: / /share

this creates the share folder on audrey but nothing else happens. The share folder on audrey is empty.
Is there something else i need to do?
Is the name "server" correct? It was the "hostname" in the qnx pc network config control panel.
Do I need to use the IP? If, so, where is it on the QNX PC

that was a typo--it was

fs-nfs2 server:/ /share...no space between the colon and slash

I believe you replace server with the ip# and add that ip to the hosts file aswell and it should work.
