...which is precisely what I wanted to know!  He seemed unsure which
he was running...  The command I gave was tailor-made to determine
that, and revealed that he was running autofs, but not amd.

There's no point in looking at amd stuff, if he's not using it.  And
it's important to know what's /supposed/ to be running, especially if
it isn't.  Which it wasn't...
