some problems with automount

[Desmond Lee]

Hello

I'm trying to use amd or the automount so that removable media such as
floppies, zip disks and cdroms will be mounted when needed. My goal is
to put 'amd_enable="YES"' in the /etc/rc.conf file so that mounting is
taken care of when the OS is booted.

I've read the man pages for amd, amd.conf and also some stuff on the
web. I'm still have some problems and was hoping someone out there could
point out some mistakes.

So, my this is what my amd.conf file looks like:

# GLOBAL OPTIONS SECTION
[ global ]
normalize_hostnames =    no
print_pid =              no
#pid_file =              /var/run/amd.pid
restart_mounts =         yes
#unmount_on_exit =       yes
auto_dir =               /
log_file =               /var/log/amd
log_options =            all
#debug_options =         all
plock =                  no
selectors_in_defaults =  yes
# config.guess picks up "sunos5" and I don't want to edit my maps yet
os =                     sos5
# if you print_version after setting up "os", it will show it.
print_version =          no
map_type =               file
search_path =            /etc/amdmaps:/usr/lib/amd:/usr/local/AMD/lib
browsable_dirs =         yes
fully_qualified_hosts =  no

# DEFINE AN AMD MOUNT POINT
[ /floppy ]
map_name =               amd.floppy
                         
[ /zip ]                
map_name =               amd.zip
                         
[ /cdrom]                 
map_name =               amd.cdrom



So, my first problem is that ' selectors_in_defaults =  yes ' should be
a valid global flag: http://www.am-utils.org/am-utils_11.html#SEC128. I
get the following message when executing the command 'bash-2.05$ amd -F
/etc/amd.conf'

conf: unknown global key: "selectors_in_defaults"
AMDCONF: syntax error on line 13 (section global) 



If I comment out the 'selectors_in defaults=yes' then I get the
following output when I execute ' bash-2.05$ amd -F /etc/amd.conf':

Now, some of this output is weird, cause it says my OS is freeBSD 4.4
but I've upgraded to 4.8. Also, it says that only root can mount, but
I've changed the setup so that any one can do mounts now. 

Also, am I suppose to create the following directories: 
/etc/amdmaps
/usr/lib/amd
/usr/local/AMD/lib

Also, at the end of my amd.conf file I have:
# DEFINE AN AMD MOUNT POINT
[ /floppy ]
map_name =               amd.floppy
                         
[ /zip ]                
map_name =               amd.zip
                         
[ /cdrom]                 
map_name =               amd.cdrom


How do I go bout creating these amd.xxx files and where should I put
them. in the /etc/amdmaps directory. Right not I don't have any amd.map
files for the floppy, zip or cdrom so I'm guessing that's why nothing
gets mounted when I do an 'amd -F /etc/amd.conf'.

Thanks in advance
