I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do here. amd is not used to *export* filesystems. amd mounts filesystems from remote NFS servers as they are referenced. Maybe you're looking for exports(5)? > How can I overcome this problem? I want to export the bin directory to > other servers. The problem you're seeing comes from the fact that you set up an indirect map mounted on /usr/local. Since amd emulates the entire directory, no user, not even the superuser, can create entires in it. If you are trying to set up the machine in question as an NFS *server*, you should be looking at exports(5) and nfsd(8) rather than amd (unless this machine is also an NFS client).
