Maybe, maybe not. The GUI Task Manager does not list any of these. From
the command line pidof returned a number for rpc.statd and several
for nfsd, but none for the other two. I assume that this means that the
other two are not running. I asked Google how to start a daemon and all
I came up with is start-stop-daemon, but all I get are error messages
due to incorrect syntax. The man page assumes that I know more about
these things than I do.

I did run sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart, which executed
without error.

All done, as posted above. I did not have an /etc/hosts/equiv file, but
I do now, containing just "localhost."

From the command line on the desktop I get a pid for rpc.statd, but none
for rpc.portmap. Again, I don't know how to start it.

Still getting the same error message "access denied by server."
