mountd —
| mountd | [ -dN] [-Ppolicy] [-pport] [exportsfile ...] | 
mountd is the server for NFS mount requests from other
  client machines.
mountd makes all filesystems listed in
    exports(5) available to NFS
    clients, and then listens for mount service requests at the port indicated
    in the NFS server specification; see Network File System
    Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A and
    NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol
    Specification, Appendix I.
Options and operands available for
  mountd:
-dmountd will not detach from
      the controlling terminal and will print debugging messages to stderr.-N-P
    policymountd logs an error message and terminates
      itself.-p
    portmountd to bind to the given port. If this
      option is not given, mountd may bind to every
      anonymous port (in the range 600-1023) which causes trouble when trying to
      use NFS through a firewall.When mountd is started, it loads the
    export host addresses and options into the kernel using the
    nfssvc(2) system call. After
    changing the exports file, a hangup signal should be sent to the
    mountd daemon to get it to reload the export
    information. After sending the SIGHUP (kill -s HUP `cat
    /var/run/mountd.pid`), check the syslog output to see if
    mountd logged any parsing errors in the exports
    file.
After receiving SIGTERM, mountd sends a
    broadcast request to remove the mount list from all the clients. This can
    take a long time, since the broadcast request waits for each client to
    respond.
mountdmountd utility first appeared in
  4.4BSD.
