autofs init script doesn't support exclude

[Marc MERLIN <marc@merlins.org>]

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91559

Could you add a patch of that sort so that we can override an ldap/yp
auto.master and mount one or several of those mountpoints locally in /etc/fstab?

I don't need this anymore as this is only useful if you use nis.
With ldap, you can use the following undocumented trick:
mrhat:~$ cat /etc/auto.master
/home /etc/auto.null
(doesn't work with YP though)

Thanks,
Marc
