+.Nd service remote NFS mount requests
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm mountd
+.Op Fl d
+.Op Ar exportsfile
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is the server for NFS mount requests from other client machines.
+.Nm
+listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS
+server specification; see
+.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
+RFC 1094, Appendix A and
+.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" ,
+RFC 1813, Appendix I.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl d
+Enable debugging mode.
+.Nm
+will not detach from the controlling terminal and will print
+debugging messages to stderr.
+.It Ar exportsfile
+The
+.Ar exportsfile
+argument specifies an alternate location
+for the exports file.
+.El
+.Pp
+When
+.Nm
+is started,
+it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel
+using the
+.Xr mount 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
+(kill \-HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`),
+check the syslog output to see if
+.Nm
+logged any parsing
+errors in the exports file.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+utility first appeared in
+.Bx 4.3 Reno .

+when communicating with
+.Nm .
+In
+.Ox ,
+a reserved port is always used.
