NFS Is A Cow
We hates it!
Okay, the problem(s) this time:
If portsentry is running, you cannot start NFS. Solution: Stop portsentry, start portmap and nfsd, restart portsentry.
If sunrpc is not available as a kernel module, rpc.idmapd will not start. Without rpc.idmapd, you can't use NFSv4. Solution: Don't use NFSv4.
Everything is set up correctly, your mount requests are being accepted according to the syslog, and yet the client always sees "Permission denied". Solution: Add the line
none /proc/fs/nfs nfsd noauto,defaults 0 0mount /proc/fs/nfs You can take the noauto off once you're happy that everything works.
This, of course, is all explained in great detail in the man pages... err, the online howto's... err, in the kernel mailing list.

<i>Useful</i> documentation for open source software? You expected <i>useful</i> documentation? Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... sob, moan, cry.
My server runs Linux, and if anything unexpected ever happens to it, I am deeply screwed. I've tried to figure it out, and I eventually gave up. (I can't even figure out how to use many of the basic features of ".htaccess" from the documentation; last time I tried to do something new, it shut my entire web site down until I backed out the change.)

Yes, I expect useful documentation for open-source software. The documentation for Python, for example, is quite good. Not perfect, not the best I've seen, but more than adequate.
The documentation for Apache, on the other hand, is complete and utter crap.

Lately I've decided the best help is provided by Google. I can solve 95% of my technical issues fastest that way, if I can get thephrasing right.
Now, if only Ace would spell my name the same every time. Then I could find all the stuff I sent him that he linked.
