13 mountd is an RPC server that answers requests for NFS access informa‐
14 tion and file system mount requests. It reads the file
15 /etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file systems are available for
16 mounting by which remote machines. See sharetab(4). nfsd running on the
17 local server will contact mountd the first time an NFS client tries to
18 access the file system to determine whether the client should get read-
19 write, read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on the
20 security mode used in the remoted procedure call from the client. See
21 share_nfs(1M).
22
23
24 The command also provides information as to what file systems are
25 mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the
26 showmount(1M) command.

29 The mountd daemon is automatically invoked by share(1M).

32 Only super user can run the mountd daemon.

35 The options shown below are supported for NVSv2/v3 clients. They are
36 not supported for Solaris NFSv4 clients.
37
38 -r Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file sys‐
39 tems mounted will not be affected.
40
41
42 -v Run the command in verbose mode. Each time mountd determines what
43 access a client should get, it will log the result to the con‐
44 sole, as well as how it got that result.

68 Since mountd must be running for nfsd to function properly, mountd is
69 automatically started by the svc:/network/nfs/server service. See
70 nfs(4).

73 Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string compar‐
74 isons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case
75 of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the host‐
76 name called for, and attempt the request again.
