Hello All

I is trying to set up NFS for my LAN. The NFS-HOWTO says that portmap,usually resident in /sbin or /usr/sbin, is essential as it has to be

started first. Well, I don't have it and it does not appear in the
Contents-i386.gz for sid on ftp.uk.debian.org.

So has it been superseded? What do I need to get my NFS server working?

Any help much appreciated.
