A client system will be allowed to access the NFS server 
only if it has permission.  This is determined by two 
files (on the server):  /etc/hosts.allow  and  /etc/exports 

/etc/hosts.allow   
-----------------  
ALL:  192.168.1.5    
-----------------  

/etc/exports
------------------
/  192.168.1.5(ro)
------------------

The 192.168.1.5 is just an example.  Substitute the actual 
address of your client.  For further information on how 
those files work, see 'man exports' and 'man 5 hosts_access'
