Article 173146 of comp.os.vms:
There are a lot of steps to do NFS file serving from VMS.

This information (slightly edited) is courtesy of DEC support:

To set up a VMS file system for UNIX NFS client:  
1.  Turn on privileges:	$  set process/priv=all
2.  Get UID & GID:	%  cat /etc/passwd | grep .....
3.  Add proxy:		UCX> add proxy - 	smith/uid=1196/gid=19/host="*"
4.  Bind (make a UNIX name for the file structure) the file 	structure:
		UCX> BIND $10$dua1: "/comm1"
5.  Add export (client mount point):
 		UCX> ADD EXPORT "/comm1/smith" /host="*"
6.  Enable reply to the network (to enable troubleshooting): 
 		$ reply/enable=net
7.  Make an empty directory on the (UNIX) client:
 		% mkdir xxxxx
8.  Mount from the client (may have to su):
 		% mount bouldr:/comm1/smith  /staff/smith/xxxxx
9. cd down into the new directory and do an ls...do you see your 	files?
 
Most common gotcha:  No entry for system in proxy db....
	add proxy system/uid=-2/gid=-2/host=*
	add proxy system/uid=0/gid=1/host=*
	For HP gid is 3. 

Another gotcha: the host file needs to have a correct entry for at 	least
the client system.

Also be sure the configuration is what you want.  Go to sys$managher and
run the ucx$config script to be sure the mount service is available :-).
