My Solaris8-sparc systems use amd for automounting NFS shares. While in virtual amd fs space, df complains I have no permission to read the fs table. If run as root, I get no complaint. Interestingly enough, bash's pwd function also fails if I use the -P option. I have submitted a bashbug regarding this as well.
