.SH NAME
automountd \- autofs mount/unmount daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBautomountd\fR [\fB-Tvn\fR] [\fB-D\fR \fIname=value\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBautomountd\fR is an \fBRPC\fR server that answers file system mount and
unmount requests from the \fBautofs\fR file system. It uses local files or name
service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are described
with the \fBautomount\fR(1M) command.
.sp
.LP
If \fBautomount\fR finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or
distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already, the
\fBautomountd\fR daemon is automatically invoked by \fBautomount\fR(1M).
\fBautomountd\fR enables the \fBsvc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr\fR service
(\fBlockd\fR(1M)), and the \fBsvc:/network/nfs/status\fR service
(\fBstatd\fR(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be done.
.sp
.LP
At startup, the \fBautomountd\fR daemon is invoked as is invoked as the
\fBsystem/filesystem/autofs:default\fR service. See NOTES.

Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
requesting restart, can be performed using \fBsvcadm\fR(1M). The service's
status can be queried using \fBsvcs\fR(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled by
\fBautomount\fR(1M) unless the \fBapplication/auto_enable\fR property is set to
\fBfalse\fR.
