Have a server (phil) who is exporting /home to my amd client (stella). I would like the user home directories on phil:/home to be auto-mounted on stella:/usr/home (for obvious reasons, since I have NIS running). I have looked at the amd guide (at http://kludge.psc.edu/amd/), searched the archives at freebsd.org (there is very little information in the FAQ or the handbook), and scoured the internet for a simple, step by step guide to amd. I seem to get either too much information or too little information to make sense of how the amd paradigm works.... here is my read, now tell me why I am wrong. The client (stella in this case) should have a top level mount point for volumes on the server (phil in this case) which default is /a (I have chosen to make it /mnt). So if amd is running correctly it should create stella:/mnt/phil/home, and symlink this to stella:/usr/home. So the map (/etc/amd.home) for this mount should look like: /defaults type:=host;opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,vers=2,proto=udp,nosuid,nodev usr/home fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/home;rhost:=phil;rfs:/home My amd.conf looks pretty straight-forward and the entry for this mount point looks like: [ /usr/home ] map_name = /etc/amd.home map_options = cache:=all map_type = file search_path = /etc:/var/yp mount_type = nfs browsable_dirs = yes However, what I get here is a mount of stella:/usr/home on stella:/usr/home ! Are there any amd users out there who are willing to slap me and set me straight?
