Hi Dan:
Thank you! I do not have another machine set up as an NFS but may do so
at some future time. It also gives me comfort to know that they were
not put there by someone else....
Cheers, Graham/

I just noticed a couple of additional mount points after running df.
They are /net and /hosts . They were not there previously, I think
they were created by automount which seems to have been added as a
dependcy after doing a cvsup and ports upgrade. Can someone confirm
this and/or explain their purpose(s).
Those are amd mount points; if you have another machine set up as an
NFS server, you can cd into /net/serverhostname and it will
automatically mount the remote server's shared filesystems and unmount
them when you cd out of the directory. /hosts does the exact same
thing. Amd is part of the base system, so is unaffected by port
upgrades. Those directories were most likely always there; you just
never noticed them.
