I think others are pointing you in the wrong direction.
MacOS uses
Bonjour to discover local net resources. Believe this may
have been
previously called Rendezvous.
http:/
/developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/

net/howl and net/mDNSResponder mention Bonjour specifically.

Correct.  You can use howl to advertise an NFS service that
MacOS X will
auto-discover.  For example:

mDNSPublish NFS _nfs._tcp 2049 "NFS Share"

Well, howl installed without error, but it doesn't seem to
want to run...?
Anybody have a clue?

I finally got it working.  My error was not including
"path=<path to share>"
when loading mDNSPublish.
Also customized this rc script to start publishing on boot.

Works fine on both computers, now.
