Hopefully it will work well for me too. However, I am struggling
with the documentation, trying to figure out how to translate the
developer-speak into normal human language.
Here's what one of our guys is using on linux (I changed the
hostname to foobar):
cat /etc/auto.master
/home ldap //foobar.utdallas.edu/
nismapname=auto_home,dc=utdallas,dc=edu nfsvers=3 proto=tcp
/proj ldap //foobar.utdallas.edu/
nismapname=auto_proj,dc=utdallas,dc=edu nfsvers=3 proto=tcp
/net -hosts
I haven't played with Linux's autofs and when I did my look at it was
shallow. From what you have here it looks like foobar.utdallas.edu is
a NFS v3 server that offers a pair of directory hierarchies. He's
mounting one of them on locally as /home and another as /proj. If you
want to do that in FreeBSD this should get you going.
*** /etc/amd/amd.conf ***
[ global ]
browsable_dirs = no
map_type = file
mount_type = nfs
search_path = /etc
auto_dir = /.amd
cache_duration = 30
log_file = syslog:daemon
log_options = fatal,error
print_pid = yes
pid_file = /var/run/
amd.pid
restart_mounts = yes
selectors_in_defaults = no
[ /home ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
home.map
[ /proj ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
proj.map
*** /etc/amd/home.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/home/${key}
*** /etc/amd/proj.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/proj/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/proj/${key}
-------------------------------
In the map files you'll need to make sure that the rfs entry matches
the directory tree that foobar.utdallas.edu is exporting. e.g. if you
would manually mount the directory under FreeBSD like this:
# mount_nfs -o tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/
pschmehl /home/pschmehl
or the fstab entry that you would use looks like this:
# foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/pschmehl /home/pschmehl nfs
noauto,tcp,intr 0 0
Then the rfs entry should look like this:
...;rfs:=/home/${key}
This setup assumes that you've exported the directory try with
FreeBSD's equivalent of the -alldirs option. This option allows you to
mount any point under the exported tree rather than forcing you to
mount the entire filesystem. A typical setup on FreeBSD would be to
export /home with --alldirs then an NFS client can mount /home/
cshilton or /home/jbauer or whatever.
Hope this helps

Sorry if I've got some minor bobbles in the syntax on the mount or
fstab lines.
So how do I tranlsate that into FreeBSD amd conf and map files?
It's got me stumped.
