How do I get amd created links to behave the same way as user created
links? Please read the example below.
If I create a link to a directory myself, when I cd to the link and then
ask what my pwd is, the answer shows I am in the 'link' for a directory:
# pwd
/home/peter
# ln -s template/util util
# ls -l
. . .
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 25 Jun 6 16:46 util ->
/home/peter/template/util
. . .
# cd util
# pwd
/home/peter/util
However, if I set up amd to automount a filesystem, the behavior is
different. amd does create a link, but when you cd there, and ask for
the pwd, it reports the 'internal' mount directory.
# amd -r -l syslog /net /etc/net.map
# cat /etc/net.map
history type:=nfs;rhost:=server;rfs:=/data/history;sublink:={host.}
# cd /net
# ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 29 Jun 6 16:49 history ->
/a/server/data/history/host_a
# cd history
# pwd
/a/server/data/history/host_a
The behavior I would like to see is if the amd created links behaved the
same way as a user created link. In the above example, when I cd'd to
history, I would like pwd to report my directory as '/net/history'. My
reasoning is: from the amd internal mount point, I can cd ../host_b and
mess with the files belonging to host_b. That behavior is MOST undesirable.
