Hopefully it will work well for me too. However, I am struggling
with the documentation, trying to figure out how to translate the
developer-speak into normal human language.
Here's what one of our guys is using on linux (I changed the
hostname to foobar):
cat /etc/auto.master
/home ldap //foobar.utdallas.edu/
nismapname=auto_home,dc=utdallas,dc=edu nfsvers=3 proto=tcp
/proj ldap //foobar.utdallas.edu/
nismapname=auto_proj,dc=utdallas,dc=edu nfsvers=3 proto=tcp
/net-hosts
I haven't played with Linux's autofs and when I did my look at it was
shallow. From what you have here it looks like foobar.utdallas.edu is
a NFS v3 server that offers a pair of directory hierarchies. He's
mounting one of them on locally as /home and another as /proj. If you
want to do that in FreeBSD this should get you going.
*** /etc/amd/amd.conf ***
[ global ]
browsable_dirs =no
map_type = file
mount_type =nfs
search_path = /etc
auto_dir = /.amd
cache_duration =30
log_file = syslog:daemon
log_options = fatal,error
print_pid = yes
pid_file = /var/run/
amd.pid
restart_mounts =yes
selectors_in_defaults = no
[ /home ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
home.map
[ /proj ]
map_name = /etc/amd/
proj.map
*** /etc/amd/home.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/home/${key}
*** /etc/amd/proj.map ***
/defaults type:=nfs;opts:=tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid,umount,vers=3;\
rhost:=foobar.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/proj/${key}
* fs:=${autodir}/proj/${key}
---
In the map files you'll need to make sure that the rfs entry matches
the directory tree that foobar.utdallas.edu is exporting. e.g. if you
would manually mount the directory under FreeBSD like this:
# mount_nfs -o tcp,intr,nodev,nosuid foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/
pschmehl /home/pschmehl
or the fstab entry that you would use looks like this:
# foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/pschmehl /home/pschmehl nfs
noauto,tcp,intr 0 0
Then the rfs entry should look like this:
...;rfs:=/home/${key}
This setup assumes that you've exported the directory try with
FreeBSD's equivalent of the -alldirs option. This option allows you to
mount any point under the exported tree rather than forcing you to
mount the entire filesystem. A typical setup on FreeBSD would be to
export /home with --alldirs then an NFS client can mount /home/
cshilton or /home/jbauer or whatever.
Hope this helps

Sorry if I've got some minor bobbles in the syntax on the mount or
fstab lines.
So how do I tranlsate that into FreeBSD amd conf and map files?
It's got me stumped.

I can mount my homedir this way:
# mount_nfs foobar.utdallas.edu:/home/003/p/pa/pauls /mnt/unix_home
I assume this means that this should work:
rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
And then I cd to /Home/pauls (there's a section in my amd.conf file named
[/Home] that has a corresponding map file amd.home which contains the syntax
for mapping the drive.
# cat /etc/amd.conf | grep -A3 Home
[/Home]
map_type=nfs
map_name=amd.home
mount_type =autofs
# cat /etc/amd.home

rhost:olympus.utdallas.edu;rfs:=/home/003/p/pa/${key}
* fs=${autodir}/${key}
But that fails with a directory does not exist error.
But I can already map my home drive manually. What I'm trying to figure out is
how to use our ldap server to mount my home drive so that when/if it gets moved
again (which happens occasionally) it will still mount and not break.
The Linux construction is:
ldap //rhost/nismapname=auto_home,ldap_base,nfsvers=3,proto=tcp. I can't for
the life of me figure out how to get from that syntax to the amd syntax. But
since I can't even automount my home using what I thought was the right syntax
for amd, I guess I need to figure that out first.

Finally if you try to access /Net/ada for example, the key is ada, and
so is the remote host. It is queried for NFS mounts and everything is

Getting out of /Net/ada those mounts are unmounted.
I hope this helps explaining some of the mysteries of amd.
Indeed it does, and I thank you very much for that example.

Autofs howto
I'm going to take another stab at this. I'm wondering if I can use autofs on FreeBSD. Last time I asked the question someone said I need amd, which I found rather cryptic. I later discovered that there is a amd-utils in ports and an amd directory in contrib under source. So, is amd a kernel module? A separate program I compile? Should I build the ports amd-util instead? Will that give me autofs functionality? I've searched the web for howtos, but they all seem to be for LInux, not FreeBSD. It even seems the latest stuff for amd on FSBD is for 6.1. (I just upgraded to 7.2 STABLE today.) Has anyone ever done this? Is anyone successfully using autofs on FBSD? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. *** Check the headers before clicking on Reply. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
