Binding ports for NFS

[redhatdude at bellsouth.net]

Thanks to all of you who've taken the time to reply.
Unfortunately, I don't have an nfs configuration file inside /etc/sysconfig/
Should I create it? What should I put in it? Just what I'm being told about the ports or something else 
besides that?
Thanks again,
EJ
