I'm going through all the various docs that I can find, but, so far, not finding what I'm searching for ... Basically, I want to 'share' /usr/ports as transparently as possible amongst several machines ... I want the end users to be able to run pkg_version -c, but not have to think of doing a 'mount' before that ... So, I setup a very simple 'ports.map' file: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/amd.map,v 1.8 1999/09/13 17:09:07 peter Exp $ # /defaults type:=nfs;opts:=rw,intr,nosuid,grpid * rhost:=proxy.acadiau.ca;rfs:=/usr/ports and run amd as: amd /usr/ports /etc/ports.map but, if I 'ls /usr/ports', nothing shows up ... if I do an 'ls /usr/ports/textproc', the mount is then created, but the symlinks are all wrong: atelier# pwd /usr/ports atelier# ls -lt total 1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 25 Mar 22 14:33 textproc -> /.amd_mnt/proxy/usr/ports atelier# So, what am I missing here?
