NFS failure at startup.

[Iain Stevenson]

The scripts you need should all be in /etc/rc.d/init.d so it's just a 
question of arranging for them to activate at start up.  I prefer a 
graphical utility such as ksysv.  You can drag and drop the scripts to an 
approrpiate run level (eg 3 or 5) and order them as needed.

The main issue to watch is security.  Make sure /etc/hosts.allow and 
/etc/hosts.deny are set to options that work for your network.
