System Administration Commands                         mountd(1M)



NAME
     mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/nfs/mountd [-v] [-r]


DESCRIPTION
     mountd is an RPC server that answers requests for NFS access
     information  and  file  system  mount requests. It reads the
     file /etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file  systems  are
     available  for mounting by which remote machines. See share-
     tab(4). nfsd running on the local server will contact mountd
     the first time an NFS 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 share_nfs(1M).


     The command also provides information as to what  file  sys-
     tems  are  mounted by which clients. This information can be
     printed using the showmount(1M) command.


     The mountd daemon is automatically invoked by share(1M).


     Only super user can run the mountd daemon.

  SMF Management
     Since mountd must be running for nfsd to function  properly,
     mountd      is      automatically     started     by     the
     svc:/network/nfs/server service.


     Startup SMF parameters for mountd can be  manipulated  using
     the sharectl(1M) command. The currently supported parameters
     are:

     client_versmin=num
     client_versmax=num

         The NFS client uses  only  NFS  versions  in  the  range
         specified  by  these variables. Valid values or versions
         are: 2, 3,  and  4.  By  default,  these  variables  are
         unspecified  (commented  out)  and  the client's default
         minimum is Version 2. The default maximum is version  4.
         You  can  override  this  range  on a per-mount basis by
         using the -o vers= option to mount_nfs(1M).

System Administration Commands                         mountd(1M)



OPTIONS
     The options shown below are supported for NVSv2/v3  clients.
     They are not supported for Solaris NFSv4 clients.

     -r    Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that  have
           file systems mounted will not be affected.


     -v    Run the command in  verbose  mode.  Each  time  mountd
           determines  what  access  a client should get, it will
           log the result to the console, as well as how  it  got
           that result.


FILES
     /etc/dfs/sharetab    shared file system table


ATTRIBUTES
     See attributes(5) for descriptions of the  following  attri-
     butes:

NOTES
     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.
