.SH NAME
mountd \- server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/lib/nfs/mountd\fR [\fB-v\fR] [\fB-r\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBmountd\fR is an \fBRPC\fR server that answers requests for \fBNFS\fR access
information and file system mount requests. It reads the file
\fB/etc/dfs/sharetab\fR to determine which file systems are available for
mounting by which remote machines. See \fBsharetab\fR(4). \fBnfsd\fR running on
the local server will contact \fBmountd\fR the first time an \fBNFS\fR client
tries to access the file system to determine whether the client should get
read-write, read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on the
security mode used in the remoted procedure call from the client. See
\fBshare_nfs\fR(1M).
.sp
.LP
The command also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by
which clients. This information can be printed using the \fBshowmount\fR(1M)
command.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmountd\fR daemon is automatically invoked by \fBshare\fR(1M).
.sp
.LP
Only super user can run the \fBmountd\fR daemon.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The options shown below are supported for NVSv2/v3 clients. They are not
supported for Solaris NFSv4 clients.
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-r\fR\fR

.RS 6n
Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file systems mounted will
not be affected.

\fB\fB-v\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 6n
Run the command in verbose mode. Each time \fBmountd\fR determines what access
a client should get, it will log the result to the console, as well as how it
got that result.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
Since \fBmountd\fR must be running for \fBnfsd\fR to function properly,
\fBmountd\fR is automatically started by the \fBsvc:/network/nfs/server\fR
service. See \fBnfs\fR(4).
.sp
.LP
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons;
some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case of the hostname
in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and
attempt the request again.
