Table 2-2 NFS Server Daemons
Daemon Name Function
rpc.mountd Answers requests for NFS access information and filesystem
mount requests. The mountd daemon reads the
/etc/dfs/sharetab file to determine which filesystems are
available for mounting and by which remote systems.
nfsd Handles client filesystem requests. By default, nfsd starts
over TCP, TCP6, UDP, and UDP6 transports.
nfslogkd Flushes nfslog information from the kernel to a file.
nfsmapid Maps to and from NFSv4 owner and owner group
identification attributes to local UID and GID numbers used
by both NFSv4 client and server.
nfs4srvkd Supports server side delegation.
rpc.lockd Supports record lock and share lock operations on the NFS
files.
rpc.statd Maintains a list of clients that have performed the file
locking operation over NFS against the server. These clients
are monitored and notified in the event of a system crash.
