NAME
       mountd - Services remote NFS compatible mount requests

SYNOPSIS
       mountd [-d] [-i] [-n] [-p port_num] [-r] [-R] [-s] [exportsfile]

OPTIONS
       Verifies	 the  Internet	addresses of hosts that make mount and unmount
       requests.  If a client's address cannot be translated into a host  name
       by  the gethostbyaddr() function and then translated back into the same
       Internet address	 by  the  gethostbyname()  function,  the  request  is
       rejected.

	      This option requires the BIND service for Internet address reso‐
	      lution.  It offers the highest  level  of	 security,  especially
	      when  combined  with  the	 -i option.  Turns on Internet address
	      verification and domain checking.	 If you are running  the  BIND
	      service,	mountd	verifies that a host making a mount or unmount
	      request is  in  the  server's  domain.   Allows  non-root	 mount
	      requests	to  be served.	This should only be specified if there
	      are clients such as PC's that require it. ULTRIX BSD is  allowed
	      non-root	mount requests by default.  Use the -n option to allow
	      non-root mount requests.	Forces mountd to bind to the specified
	      port  number,  instead  of using the random port number Verifies
	      the Internet address  of	hosts  that  make  mount  and  unmount
	      requests. If a client's address cannot be translated into a host
	      name by the gethostbyaddr() function, the request	 is  rejected.
	      If  you are running the BIND service, the BIND server is used to
	      translate the address.  If you are not, the /etc/hosts  file  is
	      used.

	      If  the  -i  option is not used and a client's address cannot be
	      translated, the address is converted to a	 string	 of  the  form
	      xx.xx.xx.xx.   This  allows access to exported file systems that
	      do not specify a list of allowed hostnames.

	      The -i option is automatically enabled when either the -d or the
	      -s option is specified.  Listens for requests on a reserved port
	      only.  This is the  default  behavior.   Enables	listening  for
	      requests on an unreserved port.  Turns on Internet address veri‐
	      fication and subdomain checking.	If you are  running  the  BIND
	      service,	mountd	verifies that a host making a mount or unmount
	      request is in the server's domain or subdomain.

DESCRIPTION
       The mountd daemon is the server for NFS protocol	 mount	requests  from
       clients.	  The  mountd daemon responds to requests from remote computer
       systems to mount directories. When it receives  a  SIGHUP  signal,  the
       mountd daemon rereads the exports file.

       The  optional  exportsfile argument specifies an alternate location for
       the exports file.  /etc/exports is the default.

       Note, NFS Version 2 can export partitions that are greater than 2 giga‐
       bytes.	However, they appear as 2 gigabyte partitions when viewed from
       NFS clients.

FILES
       Specifies the command path Contains a list of directories that  can  be
       exported	 Contains  a table of local file systems mounted by remote NFS
       clients Contains errors logged by the mountd daemon
