The problem actually seems to be a lot more subtle than this
(file ownership shouldn't matter for init scripts, and I verified this
is the case on a clean 9.0 box). If you look at hchinaski, you'll see
that your nfsd has been running since the machine was rebooted on 7/26,
but that mountd only started earlier today. Both nfsd and mountd are
started from the "nfs.server" script, so it must have run. I'm not
completely certain why mountd didn't start (missing credentials file is
common, but not the case here, as mountd would've syslogged about it)
All that said, I chowned the files in the mkserv locker to be
owned by root, since there's no reason to be installing files owned by
me; I also made knfs.add chown the things it installs, just to be on the
safe side.
