I have a problem with amd. It's not working right, and I don't think I
can fix it without rebuilding it.
Here's the problems:
# uname -a
FreeBSD utd65257.utdallas.edu 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #12: Wed May

[email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
amd appears to be obtaining the correct information from my system:

But it can't seem to parse the amd.conf file correctly:
# amd -F /etc/amd.conf
AMDCONF: syntax error on line 2 (section global)
However the conf file is correct:
# cat -n /etc/amd.conf
1 # GLOBAL OPTIONS SECTION
2 [global]
3 auto_dir =/.amd_net
I have tried putting spaces on either side of global without success. I
have tried using different types of brackets without success. The global
line is correct yet amd claims that it is not.
That's not all. There are some settings for amd_flags in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf:
grep "amd_flags=" /etc/defaults/rc.conf
bootparamd_flags="" # Flags to bootparamd
amd_flags="-a /.amd_mnt -l syslog /host /etc/amd.map /net /etc/amd.map"
If I override those flags by adding amd_flags to /etc/rc.conf, amd will
not run:
# grep amd_flags /etc/rc.conf
amd_flags="-l /var/log/amd.log"
# /etc/rc.d/amd start
NFS access cache time=60
Starting amd.
[r...@utd65257 ~]# /etc/rc.d/amd status
amd is not running.
It runs fine with the default flags:
# grep amd_flags /etc/rc.conf
#amd_flags="-l /var/log/amd.log"
# /etc/rc.d/amd start
NFS access cache time=60
Starting amd.
# /etc/rc.d/amd status
amd is running as pid 23091.
I'd like to rebuild amd without having to rebuild world as well, although
I'll do that if I have to.

obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
