+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mountd
+.Nd service remote
+.Tn NFS
+mount requests
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl dN
+.Op Fl P Ar policy
+.Op Fl p Ar port
+.Op Ar exportsfile ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is the server for
+.Tn NFS
+mount requests from other client machines.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+makes all filesystems listed in
+.Xr exports 5
+available to
+.Tn NFS
+clients, and then listens for mount service requests at the port
+indicated in the
+.Tn NFS
+server specification; see
+.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
+RFC 1094, Appendix A, and
+.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" ,
+Appendix I.
+.Pp
+Options and operands available for
+.Nm mountd :
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl d
+Enable debugging mode.
+.Nm
+will not detach from the controlling terminal and will print
+debugging messages to stderr.
+.It Fl N
+Do not require privileged ports for mount or NFS RPC calls.
+This option is equivalent to specifying
+.Ql -noresvport -noresvmnt
+on every export.
+See
+.Xr exports 5
+for more information.
+Some operating systems (notably Mac OS X) require this option.
+.It Fl P Ar policy
+IPsec
+.Ar policy
+string,
+as described in
+.Xr ipsec_set_policy 3 .
+Multiple IPsec policy strings may be specified by using a semicolon as
+a separator.
+If conflicting policy strings are found in a single line,
+the last string will take effect.
+If an invalid IPsec policy string is used
+.Nm
+logs an error message and terminates itself.
+.It Fl p Ar port
+Force
+.Nm
+to bind to the given port.
+If this option is not given,
+.Nm
+may bind to every anonymous port
+(in the range 600\^\(en1023) which causes trouble when trying to use
+NFS through a firewall.
+.It Ar exportsfile
+The
+.Ar exportsfile
+argument specifies an alternative location
+for the
+.Xr exports 5
+file.
+Multiple exports files can be defined.
+.El
+.Pp
+When
+.Nm
+is started,
+it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel
+using the
+.Xr nfssvc 2
+system call.
+After changing the exports file,
+a hangup signal should be sent to the
+.Nm
+daemon to get it to reload the export information.
+After sending the
+.Dv SIGHUP
+.Pp
+.Dl kill \-s HUP $(cat /var/run/mountd.pid)
+.Pp
+check the syslog output to see if
+.Nm
+logged any parsing errors in the exports file.
+.Pp
+After receiving
+.Dv SIGTERM ,
+.Nm
+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.
+.Sh FILES
