fvdl f7d4d2acec Split handling reserved port handling for NFS rpcs and mount rpcs up;
-noresport -> -noresvport, and new option: -noresvmnt

Include a warning in the exports manual page on how -alldirs does
not guarantee that all accesses from a client stay below the mounted
subdirectory.

.Sh NAME
.Nm mountd
.Nd service remote
.Tn NFS
mount requests
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm /sbin/mountd
.Op Fl dn
.Op Ar exportsfile
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Xr Mountd
is the server for
.Tn NFS
mount requests from other client machines.
.Xr Mountd
listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
.Tn NFS
server specification; see
.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
RFC1094, 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 Ds
.It Fl d
Enable debugging mode.
.Xr Mountd
will not detach from the controlling terminal and will print
debugging messages to stderr.
.It Fl n
Do not require that clients make requests from reserved ports.
This option is only provided for backwards compatibility. Requests
are checked for reserved ports on a per-export basis, see
.Xr exports 5 .
.It Ar exportsfile
The
.Ar exportsfile
argument specifies an alternative location
for the exports file.
.El
.Pp
When mountd is started,
it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel
using the mount(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.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /var/run/mountd.pid -compact
.It Pa /etc/exports
the list of exported filesystems
.It Pa /var/run/mountd.pid
the pid of the currently running mountd
