mountd - Daemon for mounting remote resources

mountd is a daemon which responds to requests to mount NFS resources. To do this, it reads the file /etc/dfs/sharetab. This daemon determines which resources are available for mounting on which computers. It also provides information about which resources are mounted on which clients. This data can be output using the dfmounts command.

The mountd daemon is invoked automatically after starting NFS.

Authorization: The mountd daemon can only be started with root authorization.
