 When mount requests is implemented, rpc.mountd verifies whether or not
the request is legitimate, if it finds it legitimate, it bypasses to the
client the unique NFS "file handle" [ on SunOS 4.X you can run "showfhd" 
to translate the "file handle" into Unix pathname ] and having the "filehandle",
client *can* talk to nfsd.
