automountd(1M)

NAME

     automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon

SYNOPSIS

     automountd [-Tvn] [-D name=value]

DESCRIPTION

     automountd is an RPC server that answers file  system  mount
     and  unmount  requests  from the autofs file system. It uses
     local files or name service maps to locate file  systems  to
     be  mounted. These maps are described with the automount(1M)
     command.

     The automountd daemon is automatically invoked in run  level
     2.

OPTIONS

     -T    Trace.  Expand each RPC call and  display  it  on  the
           standard output.

     -v    Verbose.  Log status messages to the console.

     -n    Turn off browsing for all autofs  mount  points.  This
           option overrides the  -browse autofs map option on the
           local host.

     -D name=value
           Assign value to the indicated automount map  substitu-
           tion  variable.  These  assignments  cannot be used to
           substitute variables in the master map auto_master.

USAGE

     See largefile(5) for the  description  of  the  behavior  of
     automountd  when encountering files greater than or equal to
     2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

FILES
