Do not confuse with configuration files of NFS in Solaris.

Some unix admins misunderstand NFS configs, while working with this system. So lets examine most used files.

/etc/dfs/sharetab:
As list, maintained by the kernel , that contains resources currently being shared by NFS server

/etc/rmtab:
A list, maintained by the kernel, that contains local file systems that are remotely mounted by NFS clients.

/etc/vfstab:
A configuration list of resources to mount when mountall is executed.

/etc/mnttab:
A list, maintained by the kernel, that contains all file systems that are mounted.

/etc/dfs/dfstab:
A configuration list of resources to share when the NFS server is started or when shareall is executed.
