 not necessarily.

I've changed export information in /etc/exports and then did the following  
on many NeXTs:
	% exportfs -uav
	% exportfs -av

only to have to reboot the NeXT NFS server because the damn
	EXPORTFS
didn't work!!

Now, I don't even think twice. My rule is:
	If you changed /etc/exports ...
1) do exportfs -uav
2) then reboot.
3) no kidding.
