Sorry I think I wasnt clear enough on my question. I have a nfs client and I want it to mount /usr/local/bin from the nfs server. I will not write anything to the mounted location in the client. But I would like to have the other directories in the /usr/local after amd mounts /usr/local/bin too. Also I have another problem now. I have a map file in the client which works perfectly. I want to use the map file from a NIS server when I copy the map file to server and create the required database files, set the amd.conf to use nis in the client then run the amd in the client again. The client tries to mount the directory from itself not from the rhost defined in the amd map file which is in the nis server. But with the same file without nis. The client is able to mount the location from the right server. I couldnt quite find what I am doing wrong.
