Sure. The command "ypcat -k auto_home" gives the complete list of
that automounter map. However, when I type "amd /home auto_home", AMD
logs an error message about the NIS map; for example,

 May 19 16:19:58 atun amd[226]/user:  No source data for map auto_home

OTOH, from the info documentation I infer that the formats of AMD maps
and Sun's automounter maps are radically different. My auto_home
map has entries of the form

	<user>	<file server>:<user's directory>

The AMD maps are very different (I think!).

Thanks for your help,
