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.
