mountd(1M)                                             mountd(1M)



NAME
     mountd - invokes the Network File System (NFS) mount-request
     server

SYNOPSIS
     rpc.mountd [-n]

ARGUMENTS
     -n   Does not check that the client is a root user. Although
          this option permits mounts to occur in a less secure
          way, it does allow versions of the NFS client software
          prior to NFS 3.0 to work.

DESCRIPTION
     mountd is an Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server that answers
     file-system mount requests.  It reads the file /etc/xtab,
     described in exports(4), to determine which file systems are
     available to which computers and users.  It also provides
     information as to which clients have file systems mounted.
     You can print this information by using the showmount(1M)
     command.

     The mountd daemon is normally invoked from /etc/inittab.

FILES
     /usr/etc/rpc.mountd
          Executable file
     /etc/rmtab
          File that contains the names of remote systems that
          have mounted exported data
     /etc/xtab
          File that lists the current exports
