DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     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 _N_e_t_w_o_r_k _F_i_l_e _S_y_s_t_e_m _P_r_o_t_o_c_o_l _S_p_e_c_i_f_i_c_a_t_i_o_n,
     RFC1094.

     Options and operands available for mmoouunnttdd:

     --nn      The --nn 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.

     _e_x_p_o_r_t_s_f_i_l_e
             The _e_x_p_o_r_t_s_f_i_l_e argument specifies an alternate location for the
             exports file.

     When mountd is started, it loads the export host addresses and options
     into the kernel using the mount(2) system call.  After changing the ex-
     ports file, a hangup signal should be sent to the mountd daemon to get it
     to reload the export information.  After sending the SIGHUP (kill -HUP
     `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`), check the syslog output to see if mountd
     logged any parsing errors in the exports file.

FFIILLEESS
     /etc/exports         the list of exported filesystems
     /var/run/mountd.pid  the pid of the currently running mountd
