Subject: Reading .passwd from NFS vol

I'm admittedly a NFS newbie, have managed to make it work for the first time in a Long Time yesterday. From one computer (RedHat Linux 6.1, hostname: lx0) I mounted "/home/users" from similar system (hostname: lx1). Both machines have similarly configured Netatalk (1.4b2+asun2.1.4 pre37 I think). This [shared[ directory contains users home directories. I have no trouble logging on with telnet and seeing the identical contents on both machines.
However when I log onto lx0 thru the Chooser using AppleShare I get the following message. (Logging onto lx1 behaves normally)
Mar 9 10:43:32 lx0 afpd[4877]: ASIP session:548(1) from 192.168.2.149:2063(3)
Mar 9 10:43:32 lx0 afpd[4877]: randnum/rand2num login: peterg
Mar 9 10:43:32 lx0 afpd[4877]: Failed to read from /home/users/peterg/.passwd
The /etc/exports on lx1 reads:
/home/users 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
The man page for exports lists a bunch of other options that I am clearly not getting a full appreciation of. Has anybody else experienced this and knows a solution, i.e., to make the shared directory work "normally"?
