Converting Sun Automounter maps
I've stumbling into the wonderful world of auto-mounting, and trying to convert some maps from a Sun box to the FreeBSD format. I have amd.conf set up OK as per the man page, but keep on getting errors when changing into the relevant directorys (like amd can't find an appropriate match). Has anyone been down this path?

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/ could be automounted to any Sun box/filesystem) and am now auotmounting /home/ 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. -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Re: Converting Sun Automounter maps
Am-utils http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ezk/am-utils/ comes with a nice perl script called automount2amd that does a fine job of converting sun automount maps to amd maps. At work we have Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD all hapily automounting and talking nis. I did have to hack automount2amd so FreeBSD defaults to nfsv2 otherwise Linux freaks (I'm guessing it thinks it can talk nfsv3, but then when it tries things don't work out).

we do automounting user homes this way:
