NAME

mountd − NFS mount request daemon

SYNTAX

/etc/mountd [−i]

DESCRIPTION

The mountd daemon must be run on NFS servers to process NFS mount protocol requests. It reads the /etc/exports file to determine which file systems and directories are available to which machines and users, and makes this information available to the operating system. To see which clients have file systems or directories mounted, use the showmount command.

OPTIONS

−iTurns on verification of the Internet address of the client against the server’s /etc/hosts file, YP hosts map, or the Internet domain if you are running the BIND service, for mounts and unmounts. The default is no address verification.
