NAME

rmtab − remotely mounted file system table

DESCRIPTION

The rmtab file resides in directory /etc and contains a record of all clients that have done remote mounts of file systems from this machine.  Whenever a remote mount is done, an entry is made in the rmtab file of the machine serving up that file system.  The umount command removes entries of a remotely mounted file system.  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(1M) when it starts up. The mountd command keeps an in-core table, which it uses to handle requests from programs like showmount(1M) and shutdown(1M).
