[ale] What users are mounting a share?

[Dow Hurst]

Robert,
Note the BUGS section from the IRIX man page of showmount.  You might 
not have had those machines that are dead properly umount.  But, the 
showmount does show you the "official" list of clients with current 
mounts of your exported drives.

NAME
     showmount - show all remote NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/showmount [-a] [-d] [-e] [-x] [host]

DESCRIPTION
     showmount lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a filesystem
     from host (or the local host if host is not given).  This 
information is
     maintained by the mountd(1M) server on host, and is saved across 
crashes
     in the file /etc/rmtab.

OPTIONS
     -a   Print all remote mounts in the format hostname:directory where
          hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root 
of the
          filesystem that has been mounted.

     -d   List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.

     -e   Print the list of exported filesystems.  For each filesystem, list
          the clients given mount access.

     -x   Print the list of exported filesystems and all of their export
          options, in the format described by exports(4).  This option
          overrides the -e option.

SEE ALSO
     exportfs(1M), mountd(1M), exports(4).

BUGS
     If a client crashes, its entry is not removed from /etc/rmtab until it
     reboots and executes umount -a.
