I had never heard of this program, so I ran it and got
[tim@carrie ~]$ sudo showmount -a showmount: RPC: Program not registered
How is one meant to "register" the program?
It's been years since I knew this stuff but IIRC the "unregistered" program is either the nfs daemon (nfsd) or the mount daemon (mountd). In this context "unregistered" just means it isn't running. Check serviceconf.
Thanks. I misunderstood the purpose of the program. I see now that one has to run it on a machine running nfsd.
Not so. You can run it from anywhere, but you have to say which server you're interested in. From the man page: "showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine".
