NAME
     mountd - NFS mount request server

SYNOPSIS
     mountd

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.

     Only super-user can run the mountd daemon.

FILES
     /etc/dfs/sharetab
