With DSM-5.1 it's already there.

Note, in newer versions (DSM4), the <code>/usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S83nfsd.sh</code> will already exist. If you try to "<code>start</code>" it, you will get a message telling you that "<code>NFS server is not enabled. Skip...</code>"
You'll need to edit the <code>/etc/synoinfo.conf</code> file and add <code>runnfs="yes"</code>.  Then you'll be able to run <code>/usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S83nfsd.sh start</code>

'''Important:''' NFS on the Synology Server is case-'''insensitive''' (as of November 8, 2008; [http://www.synology.com/enu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=45501 this may change in a later firmware version]).  This means if you perform backups by (say) [http://www.samba.org/rsync rsync], and the source directory contains files named "Foo" and "foo", the destination directory will contain only '''one''' of these files, as "Foo" ovewrites "foo" case-insensitively. This behavior happens silently.
'''Update: DSM is case-sensitive over NFS since DSM 2.1'''
