Portmapper?

I have been trying to run an NFS client on my MacOS X machine without
success, (pointing at a Putty NFS daemon on my NT box). I *think* the
reason is that I am not running the portmapper service. When I do this
on my Mac:

mount_nfs myntbox:/mynfsshare mymacfolder

I get an error message saying:

NFS Portmap: RPPC: Program not registered.


I've looked in hostconfig, rc.boot and inetd.conf and can't find any
reference to portmap. There is a portmap man entry but it is as delphic
as most man entries and doesn't actually say what you have to do to get
it running.

Any illumination much appreciated.


Ian.
