Lines: 32 Distribution: world Message-ID: <DEM.94Dec8124957@filmpc.dolby.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: filmpc.dolby.com Hello, all: Does anyone have any experience with the NetBSD automounter (amd)? My NetBSD machine (Intel based) is on a network with a bunch of Suns running NIS and Sun's automounter, and I'd like to have it use the same automounts that the Suns use. The manual page for amd is vary sparse, and NetBSD's amd doesn't seem to work exactly the same as Sun's automount. When I use the auto.home map from NIS to automount home directories into a /home directory, I get the following messages: Dec 8 12:41:34 filmpc amd[1939]/info: file server localhost type local starts up Dec 8 12:41:34 filmpc amd[1940]/info: defeating nfs window computation Dec 8 12:41:34 filmpc amd[1939]/info: auto.home mounted fstype toplvl on /homes This looks OK, but what is "fstype toplvl"? When I try to access the /home directory, however, I get: ls /home/dem Dec 8 12:41:43 filmpc amd[1939]/user: key dem: No value component in "sprocket:/home1/dem" Dec 8 12:41:43 filmpc amd[1939]/user: No fs type specified (key = "dem", map = "auto.home") ls: /homes/dem: No such file or directory The map entry for dem (that's me) reads: dem sprocket:/home1/dem and this works fine for the Sun machines. What gives? Where can I go for more info? The FAQs I have make no mention of amd at all. Thanks in advance to all.
