We use Sun's automounter on our Suns here and are in general satisfied
with it. I'm looking into the possibility of using amd on our HPs, and
would like to hear some experiences from the net. The environment is
4 HP-9000/400s servers, each serving a number of 400t diskless systems.
The HP servers mount file systems from other HP servers and from Sun
servers. My questions are:

	- What version of amd are you running?
	- Are you satisfied with the reliability of amd on the HPs?
	- Does amd protect you against NFS 'hangs', as it (at least
	  partially) should?
