/etc/exports already has a few entries in it, yet dmesg doesn't reveal
that the init scrip's been called.  When I call it manually it tries to
launch the daemons yet none of them starts up.  At least they're not
there according to 'ps -a'.

When I launch rpc.nfsd manually I get this:

root# rpc.nfsd -F -d call
nfsd[167] 07/16/98 17:25 Could not bind name to socket 0.0.0.0:2049: Address already in use
nfsd[167] 07/16/98 17:25 could not make a udp socket

Any ideas what's going on?
