I need to run some scripts on my FC4 system, which will access NFS shares
which will vary from run to run.
They (the script writers) tell me I need to install amd on my system. I like
my system the way it is, and would rather not replaces the standard FC4
autofs with amd. So I need to try to change the amd configuration files to
something autofs will use.
The scripts assume /net as the base mountpoint. The amd amd.net file looks
like:
/defaults fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root/${rfs};opts:=nosuid,nodev
* rhost:=${key};type:=host;rfs:=/
What it appears to do is allow the scripts to access a file in the form:
/net/<host>/<export>/path-to-file
The closest I could come up with for an auto.net is:
* -nosuid,nodev &:/
Where & substitutes for the host name (*). But I can't get the export into
the substitution. So using the above, if I "ls /net/myhost/export/file", I
get an error, and /var/log/messages says: "mount: myhost:/ failed, reason
given by server: Permission denied".
Is what I need possible? Or am I destined to install amd? It appears that
auto.net could be a script, but there is little I could find on what such a
script should do.
Thanks,

BTW, don't try the form of "* -nosuid,nodev &", unless you like kernel panics.
I assume this should be reported to kernel.org, but how do I capture the
output of the panic to report it?
