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 informa-
tion as to what file systems are mounted by which clients.
This information can be printed using the dfmounts(1M) com-
mand.
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.
