NFS mounting and permissions

Need some help with mounting share using NFS. I configured both the server and client stations with NFS server and NFS client settings respectively. Here is the configs:
Code: 
shlus# grep nfs /etc/rc.conf - on server
rpcbind_enable="YES"
nfs_client_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 4"
mountd_flags="-r"

Code: 
$ grep nfs /etc/rc.conf - on client
nfs_client_enable="YES"  
nfs_client_flags="-n 4"
On NFS server the /share directory is created.
On NFS client home/trojan/mount directory is created.
Here is the /etc/exports config:
Code: 
/share  -maproot=root  trojan

Both on NFS server and client the user trojan with GID 1001 and UID 1001 is created.

When I try to mount share under trojan user I get the following:

Code: 
$ mount shlus:/share /home/trojan/mount
[udp] shlus:/share: Permission denied

What is the cause of it?

You need to be root to mount nfs shares.

Does
Code: 
/etc/rc.d/mountd restart
have any effect?

Unfortunately not. I restarted the daemon on server and client and hadn't any success.

But what about the trivial user who need to mount some share?
At least as I know one can specify the user who will be able to mount the share in /etc/exports file.

I also tried to mount the share under root and here is the result:
Code: 
bsdcli# whoami
root
bsdcli# mount shlus:/share /home/trojan/mount
[udp] shlus:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
[udp] shlus:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
and so on ...

May be I made some mistakes in config files (though I configured it according to handbook).
Could you please check my config files. Is it correct or not?

No, you cannot. The last entry on a line in exports is a netgroup(5) not a username. See exports(5)

root
bsdcli# mount shlus:/share /home/trojan/mount

It's not allowing you because your client machine isn't part of the netgroup.

What do you mean under meaning "netgroup"? The name of workgroup or domain or what?
 
/share -maproot=root trojan

If "trojan" is a user, then you do not understand the format of the exports(5) file. It must either be a machine name or a netgroup(5) name.

The exports file gives remote machines access to file systems on the local machine. Not users.
 
I changed the username trojan for machine name bsdcli but still have no success. :q

Code: 
shlus# cat /etc/exports
/share  -maproot=root  bsdcli

Code: 
bsdcli# mount shlus:/share /home/trojan/mount
[udp] shlus:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
[udp] shlus:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
[udp] shlus:/share: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

One nuance: initially the /etc/exports file wasn't existed because during the installation of system I didn't shoose the system to act as NFS server.

Can it be the cause of this issue?

Unlikely. Is mountd running on the server? Is there a firewall?
 
Is bsdcli resolvable? Try to use an IP address.
You can check if the shares are exported correctly using the showmount(8) command.
