NAME

6       mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/nfs/mountd [-v] [-r]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

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.
27
28
29       The mountd daemon is automatically invoked by share(1M).

31
32       Only super user can run the mountd daemon.
33

OPTIONS

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.

NOTES

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).
71
72
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.
