hiya david

yeah.. once one get over the initial hurdles... things fall into place
... good that you got amd working. .... 

the way i like it...seems to be defaults on my boxes...
( not doing anythng special )
	ls -l /home   will usually list the links...
	ls -l /home/  will list its contents....

------
autofs does not support "direct mounts" ( sun style )

but since i donno exactly what all that means in all its gory
details...

i can still use autofs to see/copy/edit the files on each server
using symlinks
	/net/<machines>/etc/auto.home
