Just made a little mistake here myself.. Here's the correction.
So the /etc/exports file should look like this. On B machine do this.
/ A(rw,sync,norootsquash) ("A" being the IP address of the system wanting to
mount file system.)
and you create your mount point. /mnt/tmp1 on the A machine.
then on the A machine mount it as.
mount B:/ /mnt/tmp1 (B is the IP address of machine)
Ok, that should be correct this time around..
