I have a B&W PM running Panther which I would like to run nfs on. So, I
was reading
http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/mac-os-x-as-nfs-server.html and
decided to use it as reference. When I tried to start nfsd, but it
seems I am not doing well starting the nfsd (according to
/var/log/system.log):

USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/nfsd -t -u -n 6
Aug 25 14:35:07 KTursera nfsd:[1442]: can't bind udp addr

Any special reason for it to have udp problems?

I didn't have any trouble -- I am running Tiger but I don't think nfs
has changed much since Panther, if at all.

nfsd binds to port 2049, so you may want to post the output of 'netstat
-an | grep udp'. If something is bound to 2049, then you'll need to find
out what it is. There are other things (than 2049) in play as well with
nfs, so just post the output and let's have a look...
