% man mountd

After changing the ex-
ports 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.

Right there on the manpage. Anyone who wonders why his mountd is not
working should know to look there.
You would be doing everyone a disservice by diluting more relavent
questions in the FAQ with things clearly covered by manpages. HTH.
RTFM. HAND.
