mountd(8nfs)mountd(8nfs)Namemountd - NFS mount request daemon
Syntax
/etc/mountd [-i] [-d] [-s]
Description
The daemon must be run on NFS servers to process NFS mount protocol
requests. It reads the file to determine which file systems and direc‐
tories are available to which machines and users, and makes this infor‐
mation available to the operating system. The machine names listed in
the file may optionally contain the local BIND domain name. For more
information on BIND, see the Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service To see
which clients have file systems or directories mounted, use the com‐
mand.
Options-d If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the
Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or
unmount is in the server's domain.
-i Turns on verification of the Internet address of the client against
the server's database for mounts and unmounts. The default is no
address verification.
-s If you are running the BIND/Hesiod service, after checking the
Internet address, will verify that the host requesting a mount or
unmount is in the server's subdomain.
