>Description:
It would be nice if the manual page of exports(5) mentioned how to
force
mountd to reread /etc/exports.

>How-To-Repeat:
man exports

>Fix:

Add a paragraph like the one in mountd(8):

  After changing the exports file, a hangup signal should be sent to
the
  mountd daemon to get it to reload the export information.  After
sending
  the SIGHUP (kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`), check the syslog
  output to see if mountd logged any parsing errors in the exports
file.
