Synopsis

  • NFS mount daemon (rpc.mountd) has historically been exposed on TCP port 635 on many Unix/Linux systems, often listed as "mount" in /etc/services and mapped there by portmapper (e.g., older Red Hat Linux and some Solaris/IRIX configurations).
  • Real-world example: nfs-utils’ rpc.mountd on older Red Hat Linux 6/7-era servers was commonly reachable on TCP 635 for NFS client mount requests.
  • Some Solaris deployments also exposed rpc.mountd on TCP 635, depending on portmapper assignments and admin configuration.
  • Security note: rpc.mountd on port 635 was a frequent target of early-2000s remote exploits (buffer overflows/format-string bugs) that allowed root compromise on vulnerable NFS servers.
