"/etc/amd/master":

With this configuration "amd" will monitor "/homes" - an empty directory
with that name should exist.

> and mount files to send me examples.

"/etc/amd/homes":
/defaults       type:=nfs;opts:=rw,intr,nosuid,nodevs

myhost  type:=link;fs:=/home
*       rhost:=${key};rfs:=/home

"/homes/myhost" will be redirected to "/home", "/homes/foobar" will mount
"/home" from host "foobar".

If you use this map you can automount any homes filesystem by accessing
"/homes/hostname" no matter wether if it's a local or remote filesystem.
