Hello,

I have nfs-utils-1.0.1-3.9 intalled (rpm) on RedHat 9;

One of the files belongiong to this rpm is rpc/mountd ; it's located in /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

I had build the nfs-utils-1.0.6.tar.gz by standard ./configure && make the file rpc.mountd does not exist in the build tree; there is a file named mountd under /utils/mountd

I suspect they are the same file; am I right ?
why is it named rpc.mountd and not mountd ?
If I'll to make install , will it copy mountd to /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd (I want to aboid make install currently)

regards,
John

Yes. See the "PREFIX" variable in utils/mountd/Makefile (and its use in the install target in rules.mk).
