Did you edit the /etc/exports file it should be like /usr/local 192.168.0.1(ro) 192.168.1.2(rw) .......... will give access to the machine with this IP to mount your /usr/local as read only. you can use the names of the machine also. But then check for DNS also. /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny check these files also ,, hmmmm it is ok to keep them empty.... Then start the portmapper on your server ( make one machine as server ). Then start the nfsd ( this will start the required deamons ). At Client side you can do:- mount servername or IP:/usr/local /mnt/local.
Well i think this should help you....
