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.

FILES
     /etc/dfs/sharetab
