Thanks for the reply.

:- So I implemented a set of NIS maps, along with an "amd.master" map.
Yes, I do that. This is a big sun site, so I have a perl script that
takes the existing NIS automounter maps and converts them to AMD maps
which also get stuck into NIS.
To give you and idea:
bash-2.01$ ypcat amd.master | wc
175 322 4627
bash-2.01$ ypcat amd_bne_home | wc
1350 2868 67877
And that is just the beginning. Because of this I can't use things like
your amd.n because I would have to have these selectors on each mountpoint,
of which there are thousands.
I could, I suppose, have the /defaults have the selectors and enable the
appropriate switch in AMD, but that doesn't feel right. It seems like one
should be able to override mount options locally...

:- other).
We call that /usr/global.
