25.Sh NAME
26.Nm automountd
27.Nd autofs mount/unmount daemon
28.Sh SYNOPSIS
29.Nm
30.Op Fl nTv
31.Op Fl D Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value
32.Sh DESCRIPTION
33.Nm
34is an RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount requests from the
35.Nm autofs
36file system. It uses local files or name service maps to locate file systems to
37be mounted. These maps are described with the
38.Xr automount 1M
39command.
40.Pp
41If
42.Nm automount
43finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or distributed automount maps
44and if the daemon is not running already, the
45.Nm
46daemon is automatically invoked by
47.Xr automount 1M .
48.Nm
49enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service
50.Pq Xr lockd 1M ,
51and the svc:/network/nfs/status service
52.Pq Xr statd 1M ,
53if NFS mounts need to be done.

62map substitution variable. These assignments cannot be used to substitute
63variables in the master map
64.Sy auto_master .
65.It Fl n
66Turn off browsing for all
67.Nm autofs
68mount points. This option overrides the
