My complaint is that am-utils requires the type of config files you pasted here. Most every other unix operating system, Linux and the commercial unices, now comes with an autofsd/automountd which uses the auto.master/auto.* config file format which requires far less configuration and is *interoperable* in a heterogenous environment. On each of the SGIs and the Linux box here I have an /etc/auto.master that does little more than +auto.master which includes a NIS map that works everywhere. This is not nearly as easy with the standard BSD amd. -- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
