NAME
     mountd - NFS mount request server

SYNOPSIS
     mountd  [-n] [-p rpcprog]

DESCRIPTION
     mountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount requests. It
     reads the file /etc/dfs/sharetab, described in sharetab(4), to deter-
     mine which file systems are available for mounting by which machines.
     It also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by
     which clients. This information can be printed using the dfmounts(1M)
     command.

     The mountd daemon is automatically invoked in multiuser mode (run
     level 2).

     With the -n option, mountd does not check that the clients are root
     users. Though this option makes things slightly less secure, it does
     allow older versions (pre-3.0) of client NFS to work.

     If the option -p is specified, the mountd daemon is registered under
     the specified RPC program number rpcprog. It can then be addressed by
     clients under this alternative program number.

FILES
     /etc/dfs/sharetab
