mountd(1M) — ADMINISTRATOR COMMANDS
NAME
mountd − NFS mount request server
SYNOPSIS
mountd [ −n ]
DESCRIPTION
mountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount requests. It reads the file /etc/dfs/sharetab, described in sharetab(4), to determine 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 run level 3.
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.
