 MOUNTD 8 ""
C 7  NAME
mountd - service remote NFS mount requests
 SYNOPSIS
 /sbin/mountd [
 -n ]
[
exportsfile
]
 DESCRIPTION
 Mountd is the server for
 NFS mount requests from other client machines.
 Mountd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
 NFS server specification; see
``Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094''.
The -n option allows non-root mount requests to be served.
This should only be specified if there are clients such as PC's,
that require it.
The exportsfile argument specifies an alternate location
for the exports file.
Sending a SIGHUP signal to
 mountd will cause it to reread its exports file.
