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

So how do I tranlsate that into FreeBSD amd conf and map files?  It's got me 
stumped.
