MOUNTD(8)                 BSD System Manager's Manual                MOUNTD(8)

NAME
     mountd - service remote NFS mount requests

SYNOPSIS
     /sbin/mountd [-n] [exportsfile]

DESCRIPTION
     Mountd is the server for NFS mount requests from other client machines.
     Mountd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS
     server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification,
     RFC1094.

     Options and operands available for mountd:

     -n      The -n option allows non-root mount requests to be served.  This
             should only be specified if there are clients such as PC's, that
             require it.

     exsportfile
             The exportsfile argument specifies an alternate location for the
             exports file.

     Sending a SIGHUP signal to mountd will cause it to reread its exports
     file.

FILES
     /etc/exports
