Here are some notes regarding NFS on Solaris 10.

svcs network/nfs/server – will tell you if the NFS service is running.
svcadm disable network/nfs/server – to stop NFS
svcadm enable network/nfs/server – to start NFS

However, if you run share -F nfs -o rw /fstoshare, it will start NFS for you.

The share is put in /etc/dfs/sharetab (not /etc/exports like other UNICES).

There is no no_root_squash, so you use root= instead to specify hosts who are allowed root access.

So, share -F nfs -o root=* /fstoshare will allow root access for all (not a great thing to do security wise).
