On both fedora3 and fedora5, I can't get the --timeout option on autofs to 
do anything useful.

I saw a bug report on fedora3, but getting a newer release doesn't seem to 
make a difference.

Is there anyway to "monitor" the timeout interactively from user space 
(instead of "waiting" to see if it happens,
watch to see its counting down?)
