Hi, I am running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p4 on an AMD64 box. I am playing with the amd automounter and am looking for a solution of the following problem: I would like to have a /home map similar to autofs that has both local and NIS entries. With autofs (Solaris, Linux etc.) I can say in /etc/auto.home: testuser server:/export/home/testuser +auto_home How can I accomplish somethink similar with amd? Note that I can't put the testuser in the NIS map. Next, while testing different configurations I created a map with SUN syntax (described in the am-utils manual), but apparently the FreeBSD version of amd doesn't support it (there's clearly a lack of documentation and examples of _real-world_ scenarios): Here's the section of amd.conf: [ /xx ] sun_map_syntax = yes map_type = file map_name = /etc/amd.xx But that doesn't work: # /usr/sbin/amd -p -F /etc/amd.conf conf: unknown regular key "sun_map_syntax" for section "/xx" AMDCONF: syntax error on line 30 (section /xx) Am I doing something wrong? This is from the am-utils doc: "To enable Sun-style maps in Amd, set "sun_map_syntax = yes" in your amd.conf file. When this flag is set in [global], all maps read by Amd are assumed to be Sun style maps. You can set this on a per map basis, thus mixing Sun-style and Amd-style maps. For more information about amd.conf please see the Amd documentation." Christian
