Tell the NFS server which directories to export by entering them into /etc/exports. Example:
This tells NFS to export /home/userme/reports to the server with the IP 10.0.0.2 as read-only, and all users are mapped to the anonymous user, using a certain UID and GID.
Open/redirect the port 2049 (and maybe 111 if you're using portmap) on the firewall for the internal server for the public ONLY
On the public server run mount -t nfs internal_server:/home/userme/reports /mnt/reports

mountd
MOUNTD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNTD(8)NAME
mountd -- service remote NFS mount requests
SYNOPSIS
Obsolete. See nfsd(8).
DESCRIPTION
The mountd daemon was formerly the server for NFS mount requests from NFS clients. This functionality has been moved into the NFS server
daemon nfsd(8).
Please refer to nfsd(8) for NFS server documenation.
The following is a list of former mountd options that are now available as nfsd(8) options:
mountd option nfsd option Description
-n-N allow non-root mounts
-r-R allow regular file mounts
exportsfile -F exportsfile alternate exports file
However, such configuration options are normally specified via nfs.conf(5).
When the NFS server is started, it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel using the nfssvc(2) system call. After chang-
ing the list of exports (either directly or indirectly via a change in netgroup membership), the administrator should send a hangup signal to
the nfsd daemon to get it to reload the export information:
kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/nfsd.pid`
For backwards compatibility, the following should also work:
kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
Any errors encountered while processing the export entries will be logged via syslog(3).
FILES
/etc/exports the list of exported filesystems
/var/run/mountd.pid the pid of the currently running mountd
/var/run/mountdtab the current list of outstanding mounts served
/var/run/mountdexptab
information about exported file systems and directories (UUIDs, handles, ...)
SEE ALSO nfsd(8), exports(5), nfs.conf(5), nfsstat(1), portmap(8), showmount(8)HISTORY
The mountd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD. It's functionality was merged into nfsd(8) in Darwin 9.
