Nate, thanks for the very helpful info. there is no firewall between 
the OBSD and debian box ( i am new to obsd, so i may be overlooking a
config file but it appears that everything is ok on that end ). I can 
ssh to the obsd box fine, the one thing that is odd is that from debian
(client) i can rpcinfo -p <server> and it will list the obsd nfs 
(shared) partitions correctly, if i rpcinfo -p <client> (searching the
debian box) from the obsd box it will say, "no remote programs registered".
The debian box lists: 
rpcinfo -p:

    program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

 I know i'm overlooking something. How do you start nlockmgr? i
 think i found `status', [/etc/inet.d/nfs-common start]
 thanks again.
