NFS: Port Mapper Failure (Help ME!)

[Jim Sherwood]

I am trying to NFS to export filesystems.  I have been able to mount
filesystems exported from an AIX machine to the LINUX machine with no
trouble.  However, in trying to get the LINUX portmapper started and
export LINUX file stsems, I get the following message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting daemons: syslogd klogd/etc/rc.d/rc.inet2: Start: command not
found
 portmap inetd lpd mountd nfsd pcnfsd bwnfsdclntudp_create: RPC: Port
mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would appreciate any help.  Thanks,  Jim

my rc.inetd2 file is:

#		Note, that when this script is used to also fire
#		up any important remote NFS disks (like the /usr
#		distribution), care must be taken to actually
#		have all the needed binaries online _now_ ...
