Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, You may have quite the same effect than autofs with AMD(8) on FreeBSD. There was a very recently post with a good solution with AMD (if the ML archives are down, have a look at dejanews) TfH Matthew Thyer on 18/02/2000 05:18:11 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG cc: (bcc: Thierry HERBELOT/FR/ALCATEL) Subject: autofs for FreeBSD ? Hi, I use -CURRENT and have a strong dislike for automount (as opposed to autofs which is much nicer). Reasons (in no particular order): - it looks yucky - make world doesn't work when /usr/src and /usr/obj are actually links to /a/blah/blah - it makes FreeBSD look quite primitive in comparison to Solaris (the competitor in my workplace). Question: - Is there autofs for FreeBSD ? - If yes, are there any pointers on setting it up anywhere ? Sorry to ask here, but the searching of the mailing lists is still down: http://www.freebsd.org/down.html?words=autofs&max=25&sort=score&source=freebsd-questions P.S.
