13.3 The NIM
CommandThe showmount command displays a list of all clients that have remotely mounted a file system from a specified machine in the Host parameter. This information is maintained by the mountd daemon on the Host parameter. This information is saved in the /etc/rmtab file in case the server abnormally terminates. The default value for the Host parameter is the value returned by the hostname command.
The showmount command syntax:
showmount [ -a ] [ -d ] [ -e ] [ Host ]
The Flags for the showmount command are described in
Table 21.
