Somewhat related to this... I've tried to get FreeBSD to behave with Sun automount home directories. When all the (Sun) home directories are on one system, I could get by by exporting the home directory on the Sun and automounting this as /home on the FreeBSD box. But we're now expanding so that home directories will exist on 2 different Sun boxen, and this will no longer work. I've resorted to disable automounting of users home directories on the Suns (where /home/<user> could be automounted to any Sun box/filesystem) and am now auotmounting /home/<machinename> instead. So home directories are /home/box1/user23 or /home/box2/user134. FreeBSD can now deal with this by automounting box1 and box2 under /home. amd-utils doesn't seem to support the autofs mapping needed to allow FreeBSD to exist in such an environment where each users home directory is automounted. I remember searching the newsgroups regarding this issue, and there did seem to be some initial support for autofs though. -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
