Hello,
	I am trying to get Amd 5.2.2.2 to run 
on a Solaris 2.5.1 host in favor of Sun's automounter
owing to Amd's unified map scheme 

After compiling Amd I tried to mount the 
directory /usr/local/foo from the remote
host gin to the local host sherry. The map 
I implemented in order to do this is :

/default  opts:=rw,soft,timeo=10,retrans=5
 
usr/local/foo host==sherry;type:=nfs;rhost:=gin;rfs:=/usr/local/foo

and then invoked amd from the command line in 
the following way :

./amd -a /tmp_mnt /usr/local/foo ./amd.master.map

amd comes up without any alarming messages and
the command amq reveals that the automounter
has mounted "toplvl" on /usr/local/foo. When, 
I cd to /usr/local/foo, however, I find there 
are no directories or files there (the filesystem
on the server is not empty). What am I doing wrong ?
thanks
