mountd —
| mountd | [ -dN] [-Ppolicy] [-pport] [exportsfile] | 
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, 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.
