By default the nfsd and mountd were not started. I found that the main
problem was
the autofs package in 7.1 iso image. I ended up removing this package and
installing
autofs4 and now I can get to all the mount points.
Now the problem is, similar to the one I had with SuSE Linux, is that
autofs starts up
upon boot but does not mount the points. When you log into root you can do
/etc/init.d/autofs reload and everything is good to go. This also effects
logging in as a
user.
I also would like to thank Forrest for recommending autofs4.
