According to an update upon SuSE Linux 7.2, are the services 'rpc.nfsd' and the portmapper active, but the 'pc-nfs'-daemon wasn't activated during the system initialization.
The responsible daemon /usr/sbin/rcpcnfsd is not any longer included in the package 'aaa_base'. It has an own package called 'linux_pcnfsd2'.
After the installation of 'linux_pcnfsd2' you can start the nfs-server with '/etc/init.d/nfsserver start'.
