Getting FreeBSD to use the NIS password file was easy (all I did was set the domain and add a line of colons at the bottom of the password file). But I'm not satisfied with the way I've got amd set up. We've got some home directories on one disk and the rest on another (both disks on the same Sun machine). So far, I've only got amd to automount the home directories from one disk; the only way I see to make amd automount from both disks is to duplicate the data in the existing NIS auto.home map. Is there some way to make amd understand Sun's auto.home and auto.direct? The second problem is I'd like, in addition to automounting home directories, to get the FreeBSD machines to use `/net/machine/directory' style automounting. Has anyone else used amd in a mixed environment? Can anyone point me in the right direction??? Thanks, tim -- Tim Singletary, the Hammers Company, (301) 286-8606
