With the nfs drives correctly mounted and the firewall enabled I get:

rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection
timed out

> showmount -e ip_address_of_server

gives:

clnt_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - Timed out

Port 111 is not enabled.  Is that the problem? Should I enable it? A bit of
Googling implies that its a security risk.
