Description Henry B. Messenger 1999-12-10 18:36:02 UTC 
The automount daemon, amd, will fail with a segmentation fault if a
configuration file is specified. Strace suggests that it is failing when it
tries to do the very first write to syslog (take this with a grain of
salt).

It will only fail if the configuration file is free of syntax errors.

Workaround is to specify everything amd needs to know on the command line
using /etc/sysconfig/amd, then it works fine.
