MOUNTD(8)               FreeBSD System Manager's Manual              MOUNTD(8)

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.

     Options and operands available for mountd:

             vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
     -n      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.
