  NAME

    mountd - Runs the NFS mount request server

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/mountd

  DESCRIPTION

    The mountd command is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server that answers
    file system mount requests.  The mountd command reads the /etc/exports
    file (described in exports(4)) to determine which file systems are
    available to what machines and users.  It also provides information about
    which clients have file systems mounted.  This information can be
    displayed using the showmount command.

  EXAMPLES

    To start mountd:

    /etc/mountd


  FILES

    /etc/exports   List of exported file systems.

  NOTES

    Only the superuser may execute this command.

  EXIT VALUES

    The mountd command exits with a 0 if the daemon is started successfully.
    The mountd command exits with a 1 if any error occurs while creating the
    daemon or establishing the connection.
