Unless you _really_ really have to use amd for some reason, I strongly encourage people to use autofs. It's a lot more robust - it was written internally here at transmeta by hpa simply because amd is just too fragile and nobody seems to really support it any more.
There's a few things that amd does that autofs doesn't do, and hpa is thinking about them for the next version of autofs, but I'd ask people who still use amd to consider very strongyl to just drop it in favour of something that is a lot faster and more reliable.
