It has some of the chapters online, but not amd (chapter 13). It's ok though. I did get an answer from Jose Alcaide. Thanks, Jose! That got me going. And I've ordered the SMM manual from Computer Literacy. BTW, Computer Literacy doesn't have the whole set BSD manuals anymore. One of the programmer manuals is out of print. So a word of warning if anybody has been thinking of these books. I have a complete set from BSD4.2 (or maybe 4.3), but amd shows up in 4.4. > > Is there a way to set up auto_home (from Solaris) like thing? > > Did you try `man amd' and checked the cross-refs? Yeah, I followed everything, but there wasn't much there. I've got what I need now. I'm on to writing a perl script to grab users from Solaris' passwd/shadow combination and putting it into FreeBSDs passwd/master.passwd (then pwd_mkdb, of course). And also to convert auto_home to an amd map. Integrating a FreeBSD desktop into a solaris desktop group is fun. It's going remarkably well. Paul. -- No pig should go sky diving during monsoon For this isn't really the norm. But should a fat swine try to soar like a loon, So what? Any pork in a storm. No pig should go sky diving during monsoon, It's risky enough when the weather is fine. But to have a pig soar when the monsoon doth roar Cast even more perils before swine.
