We have a SunOS 5.5 server which includes the users' home directories.

On my FreeBSD 2.2 box I'd like to automount users' home directories
under /home -- just like executing the "mount server:/export/home1/johndoe
/home/johndoe" command does it.

However the "amd /home amd.home" command does not do this with my
current amd.home file. It creates a real mount point (/a/server/...)
and creates a symbolic link (ln -s /a/server/.../johndoe /home/johndoe)
to this mount point. But I don't want it that way :-) So no
symlinks are wanted.

How should I modify my amd.home file? Examples please...
Here's my current amd.home file:

        /defaults       opts:=rw,intr;type:=nfs;sublink:=${key}
        johndoe         rhost:=server;rfs:=/export/home1

Thanks in advance,

Martti
