I ended up buying the 4.4BSD SMM book from Computer Literacy. The amd
section is, apparently, encumbered, so it can't be on the net. The book
is out of print, so it might be hard to find. Published by O'Reilly.
Here's what I did for automounting:
/etc/rc.conf:
amd_enable="YES" # Run amd service with $amd_flags (or NO).
amd_flags="-a /net -c 1800 -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map /home /etc/amd.homes"
/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
* opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,nfsv2
localhost type:=auto;fs:=${map};pref:=${key}/
localhost/cdrom type:=program;fs:=/mnt/cdrom;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /mnt/cdrom";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /mnt/cdrom"
localhost/floppy type:=program;fs:=/mnt/floppy;\
mount:="/sbin/mount mount /mnt/floppy";\
unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /mnt/floppy"
/etc/fstab:
/dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0c /mnt/floppy msdos rw,noauto 0 0
ls -l /floppy /cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 21 Apr 6 21:48 /cdrom -> /host/localhost/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 22 Apr 6 21:48 /floppy -> /host/localhost/floppy
/etc/amd.homes is left as an exercise to the reader... :-)
1800 is probably too long (30 minutes), but I kinda want home dirs
mounted longer.
Here's a quetion for the community: Is there a way to override, so the
cdrom can be umounted and ejected?
Paul.
