Hi. I've been trying (and failing) to get AMD (automounter) to run
on my FreeBSD 2.0 System. I looked at the 4.4Lite System Managers Manual
(from Usenix group/O'Reily) and it did not help.

Specifically, I run into two problems.
First, I cannot get the automounting of machine/path. Ie. I set up
directory "/remote" as an automount point, where "/remote/host1/path1"
would automount as if I had manually nfs-mounted "host1:/path1"
I did not try (having no reason to) mounting the root parition from Host1.

The second problem being that once I had run AMD it hosed all further
NFS connections incoming to machine (other machines could nfs-mount 
my drives fine). Any remote path that I had nfs-mounted hung when
I tried to access it.

The only types of drives that I want to automount are NFS drives.
If anyone has gotten this type of configuration to work, could you
send me a copy of your "amd.conf" (or equivalent) file.

Thanx in advance.
