DESCRIPTION

The rpc.mountd command is an rpc server that answers file system mount
requests.  It reads the file /etc/exports to determine which file systems are
available to which machines and users.  It also provides information as to
which clients have file systems mounted.  This information can be printed using
the showmount command.

The mountd daemon is normally invoked by inetd.

RELATED INFORMATION

See the following command:  "showmount."
