AMD is a great piece of software, but it seems developed as a full replacement for the Sun's automounter, and it does not fit well in a network served by Sun machines. This problem could be solved if support for a new type of map -Sun's automounter indirect maps- were added to AMD. Well, perhaps in the future... --JM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jose M.
