I'd like to play around with using one home directory for various
machines, so I thought I'd install an nfs server.  This is on unstable.

Here's what I see:

home:~# invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server start
Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...done.
Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdinvoke-rc.d: initscript
nfs-kernel-server, action "start" failed.

I'm guessing, based on the output, that the script is barfing here:

        printf "Starting $DESC:"
        printf " nfsd"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
            --exec $PREFIX/sbin/rpc.nfsd -- $RPCNFSDCOUNT
                                                                                
I tried running that part manually, with the --quiet option removed and
eyeball-substituting the variables, but it didn't complain.  So now I'm
confused.

Is it possible that something's missing in my hand-rolled kernel?  I
seem to recall some NFS options, but I don't recall what exactly they
were or what values I chose.

Also, would AFS be a better choice?  I've heard much more about NFS, but
the tiny bit I've heard about AFS was that it was better than NFS.
