A section begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins or the end the file is reached. Sections contain parameters of the form .Sq name = value . .Pp The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter. No line-continuation syntax is available. .Pp Section, parameter names and their values are case sensitive. .Pp Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Whitespace before or after the first equals sign is discarded. Leading, trailing and internal whitespace in section and parameter names is irrelevant. Leading and trailing whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace within a parameter value is not allowed, unless the whole parameter value is quoted with double quotes as in .So name = .Qq some value .Sc . .Pp Any line beginning with a pound sign (#) is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace. .Pp The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a string (no quotes needed if string does not include spaces) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no. Case is significant in all values. Some items such as cache timeouts are numeric. .Sh SECTIONS .Bl -tag -width 4n .It Nm The [global] section Parameters in this section either apply to .Nm amd as a whole, or to all other regular map sections which follow. There should be only one global section defined in one configuration file. .Pp It is highly recommended that this section be specified first in the configuration file. If it is not, then regular map sections which precede it will not use global values defined later. .It Nm Regular [/map] sections Parameters in regular (non-global) sections apply to a single map entry. For example, if the map section .Bq Pa /homes is defined, then all parameters following it will be applied to the .Pa /homes amd-managed mount point. .El .Sh PARAMETERS .Bl -tag -width F1 .It Sy Parameters common to all sections These parameters can be specified either in the global or a map specific section. Entries specified in a map-specific section override the default value or one defined in the global section. If such a common parameter is specified only in the global section, it is applicable to all regular map sections that follow. .Bl -tag -width F1 .It Nm browsable_dirs (string, default=no) If .Qq yes , then amd's top-level mount points will be browsable to .Xr readdir 3 calls. This means you could run for example .Xr ls 1 and see what keys are available to mount in that directory. Not all entries are made visible to .Xr readdir 3 : the .Qq Pa /default entry, wildcardentries, and those with a .Qq Pa / in them are not included. If you specify .Qq full to this option, all but .Qq Pa /default will be visible. Note that if you run a command which will attempt to .Xr stat 2 the entries, such as often done by .Qq ls -l or .Qq ls -F , .Nm amd will attempt to mount .Em every entry in that map. This is often called a .Em mount storm . .It Nm map_options (string, default no options) This option is the same as specifying map options on the command line to .Nm amd , such as .Ql cache\&:\&=all . .It Nm map_type (string, default search all map types) If specified, amd will initialize the map only for the type given. This is useful to avoid the default map search type used by amd which takes longer and can have undesired side-effects such as initializing NIS even if not used. Possible values are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width 10n -compact .It Nm file plain files .It Nm hesiod Hesiod name service from MIT .It Nm ldap Lightweight Directory Access Protocol .It Nm ndbm (New) dbm style hash files .It Nm nis Network Information Services (version 2) .It Nm nisplus Network Information Services Plus (version 3) .It Nm passwd local password files .It Nm union union maps .El .It Nm mount_type (string, default=nfs) All amd mount types default to .Tn NFS . That is, .Nm amd is an .Tn NFS server on the map mount points, for the local host it is running on. If .Qq autofs is specified, amd will be an autofs server for those mount points. .It Nm search_path (string, default no search path) This provides a .Pq colon-delimited search path for file maps. Using a search path, sites can allow for local map customizations and overrides, and can distributed maps in several locations as needed. .El .It Nm Parameters applicable to the global section only .Bl -tag -width F1 .It Nm arch (string, default to compiled in value) Allows you to override the value of the .Va arch .Nm amd variable. .It Nm auto_dir (string, default=/a) Same as the .Fl a option to .Nm amd . This sets the private directory where amd will create sub-directories for its real mount points. .It Nm cache_duration (numeric, default=300) Same as the .Fl c option to .Nm amd . Sets the duration in seconds that looked up map entries remain in the cache. .It Nm cluster (string, default no cluster) Same as the .Fl C option to .Nm amd . Specifies the alternate .Tm HP-UX cluster to use. .It Nm debug_options (string, default no debug options) Same as the .Fl D option to .Fl amd . Specify any debugging options for .Nm amd . Works only if am-utils was configured for debugging using the .Ic --enable-debug option . The .Qq mem option alone can be turned on via .Ic --enable-debug=mem . Otherwise debugging options are ignored. Options are comma delimited, and can be preceded by the string .Qq no to negate their meaning. You can get the list of supported debugging options by running .Nm amd Fl v . Possible values are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width 10n -compact .It Nm all all options .It Nm amq register for .Nm amq .It Nm daemon enter daemon mode .It Nm fork fork server .It Nm full program trace .It Nm info info service specific debugging .Pq hesiod, nis, etc. .It mem trace memory allocations .It Nm mtab use local .Pa ./mtab file .It Nm str debug string munging .It Nm test full debug but no daemon .It Nm trace protocol trace .El .It Nm dismount_interval (numeric, default=120) Same as the .Fl w option to .Nm amd . Specify, in seconds, the time between attempts to dismount file systems that have exceeded their cached times. .It Nm fully_qualified_hosts (string, default=no) If .Qq yes , .Nm Amd will perform RPC authentication using fully-qualified host names. This is necessary for some systems, and especially when performing cross-domain mounting. For this function to work, the .Nm amd variable .Va ${hostd} is used, requiring that .Va ${domain} not be null. .It Nm hesiod_base (string, default=automount) Specify the base name for hesiod maps. .It Nm karch (string, default to karch of the system) Same as the .Fl k option to .Nm amd . Allows you to override the kernel-architecture of your system. Useful for example on Sun .Pq Sparc machines, where you can build one .Nm amd binary and run it on multiple machines, yet you want each one to get the correct .Va karch variable set .Pq for example, sun4c, sun4m, sun4u, etc. Note that if not specified, .Nm amd will use .Xr uname 2 to figure out the kernel architecture of the machine. .It Nm ldap_base (string, default not set) Specify the base name for LDAP. .It Nm ldap_cache_maxmem (numeric, default=131072) Specify the maximum memory amd should use to cache LDAP entries. .It Nm ldap_cache_seconds (numeric, default=0) Specify the number of seconds to keep entries in the cache. .It Nm ldap_hostports (string, default not set) Specify LDAP-specific values such as country and organization. .It Nm local_domain (string, default no sub-domain) Same as the .Fl d option to .Nm amd . Specify the local domain name. If this option is not given the domain name is determined from the hostname by removing the first component of the fully-qualified host name. .It Nm log_file (string, default=/dev/stderr) Same as the .Fl l option to .Nm amd . Specify a file name to log .Nm amd events to. If the string .Pa /dev/stderr is specified, .Nm amd will send its events to the standard error file descriptor. IF the string .Pa syslog is given, .Nm amd will record its events with the system logger .Xr syslog 8 . The default syslog facility used is .Ev LOG_DAEMON . If you wish to change it, append its name to the log file name, delimited by a single colon. For example, if .Pa logfile is the string .Qq syslog:local7 then .Nm amd will log messages via .Xr syslog 3 using the .Ev LOG_LOCAL7 facility .Pq if it exists on the system . .It Nm log_options (string, default no logging options) Same as the .Fl x option to .Nm amd . Specify any logging options for .Nm amd . Options are comma delimited, and can be preceded by the string .Dq no to negate their meaning. The .Dq debug logging option is only available if .Nm am-utils was configured with .Fl -enable-debug . You can get the list of supported debugging options by running .Nm amd Fl v . Possible values are: .Pp .Bl -tag -width 10n -compact .It Nm all all messages .It Nm debug debug messages .It Nm error non-fatal system errors .It Nm fatal fatal errors .It Nm info information .It Nm map map errors .It Nm stats additional statistical information .It Nm user non-fatal user errors .It Nm warn warnings .It Nm warning warnings .El .It Nm nfs_retransmit_counter (numeric, default=110) Same as the .Ic counter part of the .Fl t Ar interval.counter option to .Nm amd . Specifies the retransmit counter's value in tenths of seconds. .It Nm nfs_retry_interval (numeric, default=8) Same as the .Ic interval part of the .Fl t Ar interval.counter option to .Nm amd . Specifies the interval in tenths of seconds, between NFS/RPC/UDP retries. .It Nm nis_domain .Po string, default to local .Tn NIS .Pc domain name Same as the .Fl y option to .Nm amd . Specify an alternative .Tn NIS domain from which to fetch the .Tn NIS maps. The default is the system domain name. This option is ignored if .Tn NIS support is not available. .It Nm normalize_hostnames (boolean, default=no) Same as the .Fl n option to .Nm amd . If .Dq yes , then the name refereed to by .Va ${rhost} is normalized relative to the host database before being used. The effect is to translate aliases into .Qq official names. .It Nm os (string, default to compiled in value) Same as the .Fl O option to .Nm amd . Allows you to override the compiled-in name of the operating system. Useful when the built-in name is not desired for backward compatibility reasons. For example, if the build in name is .Dq sunos5 , you can override it to .Dq sos5 , and use older maps which were written with the latter in mind. .It Nm osver (string, default to compiled in value) Same as the .Fl o option to .Nm amd . Override the compiled-in version number of the operating system. Useful when the built in version is not desired for backward compatibility reasons. For example, if the build in version is .Dq 2.5.1 , you can override it to .Dq 5.5.1 , and use older maps that were written with the latter in mind. .It Nm pid_file (string, default=/dev/stdout) Specify a file to store the process ID of the running daemon into. If not specified, .Nm amd will print its process id only the standard output. Useful for killing .Nm amd after it had run. Note that the PID of a running .Nm amd can also be retrieved via .Nm amq Fl p . This file is used only if the .Ar print_pid option is on. .It Nm plock (boolean, default=yes) Same as the .Fl S option to .Nm amd . If .Dq yes , lock the running executable pages of .Nm amd into memory. To improve .Nm amd's performance, systems that support the .Xr plock 3 call can lock the .Nm amd process into memory. This way there is less chance it that the operating system will schedule, page out, and swap the .Nm amd process as needed. This improves .Nm amd's performance, at the cost of reserving the memory used by the .Nm amd process .Pq making it unavailable for other processes . .It Nm portmap_program (numeric, default=300019) Specify an alternate Port-mapper RPC program number, other than the official number. This is useful when running multiple .Nm amd processes. For example, you can run another .Nm amd in .Dq test mode, without affecting the primary .Nm amd process in any way. For safety reasons, the alternate program numbers that can be specified must be in the range 300019-300029, inclusive. .Nm amq has an option .Fl P which can be used to specify an alternate program number of an .Nm amd to contact. In this way, .Nm amq can fully control any number of .Nm amd processes running on the same host. .It Nm print_pid (boolean, default=no) Same as the .Fl p option to .Nm amd . If .Dq yes , .Nm amd will print its process ID upon starting. .It Nm print_version (boolean, default=no) Same as the .Fl v option to .Nm amd , but the version prints and .Nm amd continues to run. If .Dq yes , .Nm amd will print its version information string, which includes some configuration and compilation values. .It Nm restart_mounts (boolean, default=no) Same as the .Fl r option to .Nm amd . If .Dq yes , .Nm amd will scan the mount table to determine which file systems are currently mounted. Whenever one of these would have been auto-mounted, .Nm amd inherits it. .It Nm selectors_on_default (boolean, default=no) If .Dq yes , then the .Pa /default entry of maps will be looked for and process any selectors before setting defaults for all other keys in that map. Useful when you want to set different options for a complete map based on some parameters. For example, you may want to better the .Tn NFS performance over slow slip-based networks as follows: .Pp .Bd -literal /defaults \\ wire==slip-net;opts:=intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 \\ wire!=slip-net;opts:=intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 .Ed .It Nm show_statfs_entries (boolean), default=no) If .Dq yes , then all maps which are browsable will also show the number of entries .Pq keys they have when .Qq df runs. .Po This is accomplished by returning non-zero values to the .Xr statfs 2 .Pc system call . .It Nm unmount_on_exist (boolean), default=no) If .Dq yes , then .Nm amd will attempt to unmount all file systems which it knows about. Normally .Nm amd leaves all .Pq esp. .Tn NFS mounted filesystems intact. Note that .Nm amd does not know about file systems mounted before it starts up, unless the .AR restart_mounts option or .Fl r flag are used. .El .It Sy Parameters applicable to regular map sections .Bl -tag -width F1 .It Nm map_name (string, must be specified) Name of the map where the keys are located. .It Nm tag (string, default no tag) Each map entry in the configuration file can be tagged. If no tag is specified, that map section will always be processed by .Nm amd . If it is specified, then .Nm amd will process the map if the .Fl T option was given to .Nm amd , and the value given to that command-line option matches that in the map section. .El .Sh EXAMPLES Here is a real .Nm amd configuration I use daily. .Bd -literal # GLOBAL OPTIONS SECTION [ global ] normalize_hostnames = no print_pid = no restart_mounts = yes auto_dir = /n log_file = /var/log/amd log_options = all #debug_options = all plock = no selectors_on_default = 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 # DEFINE AN AMD MOUNT POINT [ /u ] map_name = amd.u [ /proj ] map_name = amd.proj [ /src ] map_name = amd.src [ /misc ] map_name = amd.misc [ /import ] map_name = amd.import [ /tftpboot/.amd ] tag = tftpboot map_name = amd.tftpboot .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr amd 8 , .Xr amq 8 .Sh AUTHORS .An Erez Zadok Aq ezk@cs.columbia.edu , Department of Computer Science, Columbia University, New York, USA. .Pp .An Jan-Simon Pendry Aq jsp@doc.ic.ac.uk , Department of Computing, Imperial College, London, UK. .Pp .An Other Authors and contributers to am-utils are listed in the .Nm AUTHORS file distributed with am-utils. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm amd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
