rmtab(NF)                       19 June 1992                       rmtab(NF)


 Name

    rmtab - remotely mounted filesystem table

 Description

    The rmtab file resides in the directory /etc and contains a record of all
    clients that have done remote mounts of filesystems from this machine.
    Whenever a remote mount is done, an entry is made in the rmtab file of
    the machine serving that filesystem.  The corresponding umount on the
    remote client will remove the entry.

    The table is a series of lines of the form

       hostname:directory

    This table is used only to preserve information between crashes and is
    read only by mountd(NADM) when it starts up.  mountd maintains an in-core
    table to handle requests from programs like showmount(NADM) and
    shutdown(ADM).

 Files

    /etc/rmtab

 Notes

    Although the rmtab  is generally correct, it is not always completely
    accurate.
