mountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount requests. It reads the file /etc/xtab, described in exports.5 to determine which file systems are available for mounting by which machines. It also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the showmount.8 command.
The mountd daemon is normally invoked by rc.8
