If anyone is going to do work on autofs for FreeBSD, keep it in this list (or let me know which list to go on). I've used different versions of autofs on different systems with and without Amd. I have many comments on how to get it right the first time, so you won't have to do two iterations like Sun, or three like Linux. > Our biggest problem with amd is the use of sym links instead > of mounts in place.

I don't know of any which was either added or removed for FreeBSD (not on my official distribution). Currently, am-utils fully supports autofs on Linux, and partially on Solaris. We're planning on completing the Solaris support for autofs in the coming months. > We move data around every week and we need the users > to see the map name and not the mount name (ie. > /data/ada18 instead of /tmp_mnt/aj/bay_l0g2).
