As someone else pointed out telnet may not be installed or not
configured to work. In /etc/xinetd.d/telnet disabled must be no.

exportfs -a causes the exports to occur. exportfs alone displays
exports.

Is this a dns problem ? Is /etc/yp.conf properly configured with
something like:
domain <domain name> server <server-name>?
Has domainname been set in your /etc/sysconfig/network or somewhere
else?
Is ypbind running?

What tells you the server can't be found?  When you say ssh works does
that mean that you can ssh to server from a client? But I assume you
can't login to a client using ssh, True?
