Whither niload, NetInfoManager in Leopard?

After upgrading to Leopard today, I noticed two things did not carry over:
1. Some names/IP addresses of other hosts (previously set using niload)
2. NFS automounts to my Linux box (previously set up using NetInfoManager)
None of these things appear to be there any more. What am I supposed to use now?

Here's an Apple info article that might help you...

dscl, along with the Directory Manager utility, may be what you need to use now.

What I need to know is how to set up an NFS automount. An example would be particularly helpful. I found that I can simply edit /etc/hosts to add a host/address pair.

I've read that it's quite simple if you go to Connect to Server under the Go menu in the Finder. You might need to configure the Directory Utility if your shares have some special configuration....

There's a ton of info about this in your Mac help files.
