8 automountd \- autofs mount/unmount daemon
12 \fBautomountd\fR [\fB-Tvn\fR] [\fB-D\fR \fIname=value\fR]
18 \fBautomountd\fR is an \fBRPC\fR server that answers file system mount and
19 unmount requests from the \fBautofs\fR file system. It uses local files or name
20 service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are described
21 with the \fBautomount\fR(1M) command.
24 If \fBautomount\fR finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or
25 distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already, the
26 \fBautomountd\fR daemon is automatically invoked by \fBautomount\fR(1M).
27 \fBautomountd\fR enables the \fBsvc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr\fR service
28 (\fBlockd\fR(1M)), and the \fBsvc:/network/nfs/status\fR service
29 (\fBstatd\fR(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be done.
32 At startup, the \fBautomountd\fR daemon is invoked as is invoked as the
33 \fBsystem/filesystem/autofs:default\fR service. See NOTES.
37 The following options are supported:
41 \fB\fB-D\fR \fIname=value\fR\fR
44 Assign \fIvalue\fR to the indicated \fBautomount\fR map substitution variable.
45 These assignments cannot be used to substitute variables in the master map
55 Turn off browsing for all \fBautofs\fR mount points. This option overrides the
56 \fB-browse\fR \fBautofs\fR map option on the local host.
65 Trace. Expand each \fBRPC\fR call and display it on the standard output.
74 Verbose. Log status messages to the console.
80 See \fBlargefile\fR(5) for the description of the behavior of \fBautomountd\fR
81 when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
86 \fB\fB/etc/auto_master\fR\fR
89 Master map for automounter.
95 \fB\fB/etc/default/autofs\fR\fR
98 Supplies default values for parameters for \fBautomount\fR and
99 \fBautomountd\fR. See \fBautofs\fR(4).

110 The \fBautomountd\fR service is managed by the service management facility,
111 \fBsmf\fR(5), under the service identifier:
115 svc:/system/filesystem/autofs
122 Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
123 requesting restart, can be performed using \fBsvcadm\fR(1M). The service's
124 status can be queried using \fBsvcs\fR(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled by
125 \fBautomount\fR(1M) unless the \fBapplication/auto_enable\fR property is set to
