Am I missing something?
The upgrade was suggested by pfg@. Additionally, amd does support different maps based upon the client hostname, which I recall from my Solaris and RH Linux days automountd doesn't do (when using a mapping service such as NIS or LDAP, though automountd can do the same using local files). Comparing amd to Solaris, amd has the function of the Solaris automounter and vold in a single daemon. Previous versions weren't compatible with Sun automount maps however this version is, though I'm not sure if I want to enable that first pass. Back in the days when I was the Solaris Team Lead for the BC Government we used vendor automountd for /home and /net while using amd for certain NFS shares (e.g. /usr/common depending on where the server was), depending on architecture, e.g Sun Sparc Solaris, Tru64, DG/UX and HP-UX. Automountd couldn't do that and the only other option was mounts in fstab and vfstab. It appears there is some development upstream, albeit it's slow, but their repo has had activity over the last year. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <cy.schub...@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <c...@freebsd.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
