13 automountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount
14 requests from the autofs file system. It uses local files or name ser‐
15 vice maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are
16 described with the automount(1M) command.

18
19 If automount finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or dis‐
20 tributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already, the
21 automountd daemon is automatically invoked by automount(1M). automountd
22 enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service (lockd(1M)), and the
23 svc:/network/nfs/status service (statd(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be
24 done.

27 At startup, the automountd daemon is invoked as is invoked as the sys‐
28 tem/filesystem/autofs:default service. See NOTES.

31 The following options are supported:
32
33 -D name=value Assign value to the indicated automount map substitu‐
34 tion variable. These assignments cannot be used to
35 substitute variables in the master map auto_master.
36
37
38 -n Turn off browsing for all autofs mount points. This
39 option overrides the -browse autofs map option on the
40 local host.

44 standard output.

80 smf(5), under the service identifier:

87 Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
88 requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The service's
89 status can be queried using svcs(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled
90 by automount(1M) unless the application/auto_enable property is set to
91 false.
