Put some useful hostnames in the workstations netgroup in the enclosed /etc/netgroups, start the nfs service and try to mount one of the exported directories from a host you put in the workstations netgroup.
The mount should fail. Whether mountd crashes or not seems to depend on previous mounts from the host. You may need to start with a truncated /etc/exports, successfully mount a shared path on a host, export the full /etc/exports and mount another share on the host. - Stefan
