It does.

Already done.

I assume simply typing "rpc.nfsd" restarts it or do I need 
to send a message to the daemon?

How do I check what the settings are?  There doesn't seem to 
be a nfsd.conf file or equivalent.

Done.

Good!

when it rebooted I got the following message (\ indicates a 
new line to avoid confusion with the word wrap):

...part of this was due to mistyping one of the options in 
/etc/exports so after some experimentation and several 
reboots I and finally came to the conclusion that the this 
was the most appropriate entry for /etc/exports:


/home/public shrineofthebeard.homenet 
(sync,no_subtree_check,rw,no_root_squash)


(Quick recap: templeofthebeard.homenet, 192.168.0.1, is the 
server, the one I'm doing all this work on right now, 
shrineofthebeard.homenet, 192.168.0.2, is the client)

Now the output above has become:


.
.
.
\Starting NFS services:
\  /usr/sbin/exportfs -r
\exportfs: shrineofthebeard.homenet has non-inet addr
\exportfs: shrineofthebeard.homenet has non-inet addr
\  /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad
\  /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd 8
\  /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
\  /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
\  /usr/sbin/rpc.statd
.
.
.


...which is better.  Now I went back to the client machine 
to see if anything had changed and typed "mount -t nfs 
templeofthebeard.homenet:/home/public /home/public" and got:


mount: templeofthebeard.homenet:/home/public failed, reason 
given by server: Permission denied


Back to the drawing board, what have I missed?
