Relevant Releases Architectures

4. Obsoleted by:
None

5. Conflicts with:
Red Hat Linux 4.2 shipped originally with a version of amd that is no longer being maintained. Since Red Hat Linux 5.0 we have switched to am-utils. This release of am-utils has been backported to 4.2 and it will obsolete the original 4.2 amd package.

The following is valid for all releases and arcitectures: the default configuration file format for amd that Red Hat used to ship has been changed. Initially the /etc/amd.conf file used to be the default map file that would allow access to the /net hierarchy. Now /etc/amd.conf is the amd configuration file and the default map is installed as /etc/amd.net.
