mountd(8nfs) mountd(8nfs)
Name
mountd - NFS mount request daemon
Syntax
/etc/mountd [-i] [-d] [-s]
Description
The daemon must be run on NFS servers to process NFS mount protocol requests. It reads the file to determine which file systems and direc-
tories are available to which machines and users, and makes this information available to the operating system. The machine names listed
in the file may optionally contain the local BIND domain name. For more information on BIND, see the Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service To
see which clients have file systems or directories mounted, use the command.
Options
-d If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or unmount
is in the server's domain.
-i Turns on verification of the Internet address of the client against the server's database for mounts and unmounts. The default is no
address verification.
-s If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or unmount
is in the server's subdomain.
