Personally, I'd say you're both wrong. It's not like either one is
being asked to do something extraordinary. Reboot your system, if that
doesn't work, it'll provide leverage on him to do the appropriate
thing to mountd. It'll also allow you to say "I only bounce my box for
OS/kernel/hardware upgrades and Solaris bugs."
If you can't stand taking a morally superior position, ask him *when*
mountd rereads the share table information from disk. You might also
ask if he can *check* the in-core shared file system list (via share
or share_nfs) to see if your box is properly listed on it.
