NFS and NIS problems under RedHat 6.0

Hi All.

I'm having great difficulties in getting NFS exporting/mounting to work
properly under RedHat 6.0, but had no difficulties with 5.2 or with IRIX.

I have created /etc/netgroup and added all of the machines that are part of
that domain. Then in /etc/exports I have exported a directory as such:

/home		@serf

...where 'serf' is my netgroup. I then do an 'exportfs -a' on the server and
I have made sure that the NFS daemon is running on both server and client
machines. However, whenever I then try to mount that directory, I get a
"Permission denied" error...and have even received an RPC error now and
again !

I want to be able to get this working properly before I set up NIS.

Any suggestions...?

Cheers,
Kristian.
