Date: 17 Apr 1996 22:21:48 GMT Organization: Cyberstore Systems Inc. Lines: 18 Message-ID: <4l3qts$esi@scipio.cyberstore.ca> Reply-To: william@cyberstore.ca NNTP-Posting-Host: scipio.cyberstore.ca I was wondering if someone out there would be familiar enough with FreeBSD and Solaris to tell me how to do something. I want to automount some directories that i use for ftpaccts. I am used to using solaris and would do it like this... make an entry in /etc/auto_master that contained the line: /opt/ftpaccts/fakedir hostname:/data/realdir then exec automount then whenever someone cd'd to /opt/ftpaccts/fakedir they would see the contents of /data/realdir but when no one was in ./fakedir it would contain nothing and not be mounted. What is the procedure for doing this with amd on FreeBSD ? Thanks in advance for your help. Wil Boucher
