Subject: AMD, setting up home directories.

I'm trying to set up my home directories on a second machine to mount off
of another machine using AMD.  I have this operation working, but, I want
it to create a symbolic link /home/${key} to /home.local/${key} if the
mount fails either because the user doesn't have a home directory on the
first machine, or that machine is down.  I tried my map like this, taking
from having AMD try one host, and if it fails, cycle to another:

*             type:=nfs;rhost:=firstmachine;rfs:=/usr/home/${key} /
		type:=link;fs=/local.home/${key}

This will always use the local home directories, never trying the remote
ones.

Any help?

I can't find a complete guide to the format of AMD's mapping files.

Thanks,
Mike
