Somewhat related to this...
I've tried to get FreeBSD to behave with Sun automount home directories.
When all the (Sun) home directories are on one system, I could get
by by exporting the home directory on the Sun and automounting this
as /home on the FreeBSD box. But we're now expanding so that home
directories will exist on 2 different Sun boxen, and this will no
longer work. I've resorted to disable automounting of users home
directories on the Suns (where /home/<user> could be automounted to
any Sun box/filesystem) and am now auotmounting /home/<machinename>
instead. So home directories are /home/box1/user23 or /home/box2/user134.
FreeBSD can now deal with this by automounting box1 and box2 under /home.
amd-utils doesn't seem to support the autofs mapping needed to
allow FreeBSD to exist in such an environment where each users home
directory is automounted. I remember searching the newsgroups
regarding this issue, and there did seem to be some initial support
for autofs though.
