You probably don't have anything in /etc/exports.
Try it as a test:
put anything in /etc/exports
/mnt/cdrom for example (assuming you first mounted a cd on /mnt/cdrom)
Then run /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start you will see several messages saying
that it is starting up nfs services (Starting NFS services, Starting NFS
quotas, Starting NFS mountd, Starting NFS daemon)
Look at ps (ps aux | grep nfs) and
you will see several nfsd's running). Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status
will also tell you that nfs is running.
Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop and it will tell you
Shutting donw NFS mountd
Shutting down NFS daemon
...
and ps will show that nfs stopped.
Thus, if /etc/exports is non-existant or empty, nfs will not successfully
start up.
Be sure you know how you want to export file systems (read
only? read/write? available to whole world or only to certain systems?)
before you leave nfs up.
