For example, I'd like to access >/home/dumbboy/files/deleteme, what is the key to be used, and how the >lookup/match happens? and how the mount operations happens? Thanks a lot. My amd.homes is considerably simpler than that. We automount to /homes/username using something like this where the machine alexis has the real home directories. # amd.homes /defaults opts:=nodevs,soft,rw,type:=nfs;proto=tcp, * host==alexis;type:=link;fs:=/home/${key} \ host!=alexis;type:=nfs;rhost:=alexis;rfs:=/home/${key} Bill -- INTERNET: bill at celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.
