NAME
       rmtab - local file system mount statistics

DESCRIPTION
       Rmtab  resides  in  directory /etc and contains a record of all clients
       that have done  remote  mounts  of  file	 systems  from	this  machine.
       Whenever	 a remote mount is done, an entry is made in the rmtab file of
       the machine serving up that file system.	 Umount removes entries, if of
       a  remotely  mounted file system.  Umount -a broadcasts to all servers,
       and informs them that they should remove all entries from rmtab created
       by the sender of the broadcast message.	By placing a umount -a command
       in /etc/rc.boot, rmtab tables can  be  purged  of  entries  made	 by  a
       crashed	host,  which  upon  rebooting  did  not	 remount the same file
       systems it had before.  The table is a series of lines of the form

	       hostname:directory

       This table is used only to preserve information between crashes, and is
       read  only  by  mountd(8)  when	it starts up.  Mountd keeps an in-core
       table, which it uses to handle requests from programs like showmount(1)
       and shutdown(8).

FILES
       /etc/rmtab

SEE ALSO
       showmount(1), mountd(8), mount(8), umount(8), shutdown(8)

BUGS
       Although	 the  rmtab table is close to the truth, it is not always 100%
       accurate.
