mountd(NADM)


mountd -- NFS mount request server

Syntax

/etc/mountd [-n]

Description

mountd is an RPC server that responds to filesystem mount requests. It reads the file /etc/exports, described in exports(NF), to determine which filesystems are available to which machines and users. It also provides information as to which clients have filesystems mounted. This information can be printed using the showmount(NADM) command.

The -n option allows users who are not the root user to mount and unmount NFS file systems. This option does not work with SCO OpenServer clients, which require root permissions to use the mount command. However, clients running other versions of UNIX such as AIX can use this option.
