I have a problem with amd. It's not working right, and I don't think I can fix it without rebuilding it. Here's the problems: # uname -a FreeBSD utd65257.utdallas.edu 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #12: Wed May 6 12:12:16 CDT 2009 root@utd65257.utdallas.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 amd appears to be obtaining the correct information from my system: # amd -r May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: no logfile defined; using stderr May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: AM-UTILS VERSION INFORMATION: May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: Copyright (c) 1997-2006 Erez Zadok May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: Copyright (c) 1990 Jan-Simon Pendry May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: Copyright (c) 1990 Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: Copyright (c) 1990 The Regents of the University of California.

May 9 13:38:22 utd65257 amd[22655]/info: My ip addr is 127.0.0.1 But it can't seem to parse the amd.conf file correctly: # amd -F /etc/amd.conf AMDCONF: syntax error on line 2 (section global) However the conf file is correct: # cat -n /etc/amd.conf 1 # GLOBAL OPTIONS SECTION 2 [global] 3 auto_dir =/.amd_net I have tried putting spaces on either side of global without success. I have tried using different types of brackets without success. The global line is correct yet amd claims that it is not. That's not all. There are some settings for amd_flags in /etc/defaults/rc.conf: grep "amd_flags=" /etc/defaults/rc.conf bootparamd_flags="" # Flags to bootparamd amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map /net /etc/amd.map" If I override those flags by adding amd_flags to /etc/rc.conf, amd will not run: # grep amd_flags /etc/rc.conf amd_flags="-l /var/log/amd.log" # /etc/rc.d/amd start NFS access cache time=60 Starting amd. [root@utd65257 ~]# /etc/rc.d/amd status amd is not running. It runs fine with the default flags: # grep amd_flags /etc/rc.conf #amd_flags="-l /var/log/amd.log" # /etc/rc.d/amd start NFS access cache time=60 Starting amd. # /etc/rc.d/amd status amd is running as pid 23091. I'd like to rebuild amd without having to rebuild world as well, although I'll do that if I have to.
