Re: amd

Hi ya Alvin! :-)

Thanks for the tip and the detailed instructions, but I'm afraid I'm in 
a situation where I'll have to use amd. The point of moving to an 
automounter is to have an automatic failover system, so that if an NFS 
server goes down, the clients will all automatically force-umount its 
volumes and mount from a backup machine instead. I think only amd, not 
autofs, has this capability. But thanks for your effort...

By the way, reading through the deepest, darkest recesses of the amd 
website (http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ezk/am-utils), it looks possible to 
do this using type:=direct. I'm experimenting now.

David
