The Domain should be acm.cs, but this is not working properly but localdomain does

Daemons
Two daemons need to be started after networking in order to mount NFS directories and one to keep things working right
- rpcbind
- nfs-common
- nptd
Start rpcbind then nfs-common, then you will be able to mount the nfs directories, add these entries to rc.conf in the daemons array after the network/net-profiles entries.
Server Config
Mozart is currently the NFS file server and is only accessible to members of the ACM LAN Admins group.
Exported directories are located in /export, this is the NFS root

And finally this file controls the exporting of directories, and should have entries like these. To prevent issues with wildcards or IP ranges, each client has a separete config
/etc/exports
/export 172.29.0.0/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash) /export/path-to-acm-home-dirs 172.29.0.2(rw,no_subtree_check,async,nohide,no_root_squash) /export/skel 172.29.0.2(ro,no_subtree_check,async,nohide,no_root_squash)
Daemons
Three daemons need to be started after networking in order to serve NFS directories and one to keep things working right
- rpcbind
- nfs-common
- nfs-server
- nptd
Start rpcbind, then nfs-common, and then nfs-server, then you will be able to mount the nfs directories, add these entries to rc.conf in the daemons array after the network/net-profiles entries.
Your daemons array line should be similar to this.
/etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(*foobar* net-profiles *foo* @ntpd rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server *bar*)
Moving /var/lib/nfs to tempfs
To increase server preformance and reduce the number of lockups on the NFS clients, especially since many are workstations, /var/lib/nfs, the home pf the nfsd rpcpipefs, to a tempfs directory aka to memory rather than disk. Add this daemon to the daemons line of rc.conf BEFORE nfs-common and nfs-server.
Add this line to the fstab
none /var/lib/nfs tmpfs defaults,mode=0755 0 0
Copy /var/lib/nfs to a separate directory called /var/lib/nfs.d then add this file to /etc/rc.d and add it to the daemons line in rc.d
/etc/rc.d/nfsvartemp
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
case "$1" in
