>Description:
AMD doesn't recognice automatically new entries in the amd maps (like for
example the SOLARIS automounter does for new entries in the automount maps), 
or only after approx. one hour. Neither "ls <dir>" nor "cd <dir>" succeed.
                                                      
In our case the NIS server is a "Solaris 2.6" machine.
                                                      
Sometimes it helps, when you submit a "kill -HUP" to the AMD process.
Killing and restarting AMD seems to help always.      
                                                      

>How-To-Repeat:
Share or export the directory "/test" on a nfs server machine.
Make a new entry in amd.<DIR1> on the NIS server, for example
    test rhost:=<nfs-server>;rfs:=/test               
and rebuild the NIS maps.                             

>Fix:
These are only workarounds, not fixes:
Wait approx. one hour and then try again.
Or supply a "kill -HUP" to the AMD process.
Or kill AMD and restart it.
