15 The stock amd didn't work for us in Mac OS X 10.3.
16 Here's how we installed am-utils-6.1-20031025:
18 ./configure --prefix=/usr
22 Create /System/Library/StartupItems/AMD with the files:
25 Resources/ -- copy from other directories in ..
26 StartupParameters.plist
28 Then, make sure that AMDSERVER=-YES- is added to /etc/hostconfig.
30 ******************* the file AMD:
40 if [ "${AMDSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
41 ConsoleMessage "Starting AMD server"
43 if [ ! -f /etc/amd.conf -a -r /etc/amd.conf.template ]; then
44 cp /etc/amd.conf.template /etc/amd.conf
46 if [ ! -f /etc/amd.map -a -r /etc/amd.map.template ]; then
47 cp /etc/amd.map.template /etc/amd.map
52 ******************* the file StartupParameters.plist:
55 Description = "AMD server";
57 Requires = ("Resolver");
58 OrderPreference = "None";
61 start = "Starting AMD server";
62 stop = "Stopping AMD server";

69 and amd mounted directories, but hopefully this is just a bug that
