Well, we have around 150 suns with automount, 2 PC's with FreeBSD, a lot of Linux and windows boxes. I'm the only one who can't use the automount maps and I'm NOT the sysadmin. That would mean I have to track the changes in the maps made by our admin people. Out of the 60+ file systems they export I need 10 or so - mounting them during boot worked just fine up to now (and works still after changing the order in nsswitch.conf). It seems impractical for me to bother with amd in this situation. My thought was: if it worked before why shouldn't it work now? After pooking around what really happens I decided to put the three machines I get NFS from into /etc/hosts. That's easier than fighting with amd. I can't figure out what change caused the new behaviour, however... > Send some examples to freebsd-fs@freebsd.org. amd does have a learning > curve, but it's not insurmountable.

I would at least make live easier for some people. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.gmd.de, harti@begemot.org, lhbrandt@mail.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
