AutoFS is part of Red Hat Linux, and is usually installed. You have to manually select amd if you want it instead.
They bot attempt to do the same thing, but AutoFS uses kernel support instead of being all user space.
check the man pages for automount, autofs(sections 5 and 8), and auto.master.
Autofs is very similar (a clone?) to the automount tools in Solaris and HP-UX. So the configurations are more portable. You learn one and you know the basics of the others.
If you need help, I can help you translate the amd configuration files to AutoFS format. Don't be surprized if amd (and the am-utils package) goes away (at least in Red Hat/Fedora distros).
