This is the new way to configure amd and it is done in the startup
scripts. You can still use the old way, by modifying the startup
scripts, but a better way is to contstruct an amd.conf:

# $Id: amd.conf,v 1.1 2002/06/01 22:28:03 kim Exp $
#

[ global ]
dismount_interval =	900
map_type =		file

[ /proj ]
map_name =		/etc/amd/proj

[ /src ]
map_name =		/etc/amd/src

[ /u ]
map_name =		/etc/amd/u
