rcp requires user equivalence. You need to set up /etc/hosts.equiv or
(for root) /.rhosts (and with 600 perms on .rhosts). Contents have to
match the way this machine will see the other side - a ping will tell
you that.. there's more at my site; search for "rhosts"

You have to tell nfs what you want it to use. You put (at a minimum)
one or more directories in /etc/exports and run exportfs -a (or reboot).
