There isn't a hostname... It's supposed to bind (or possibly symlink if
bind mounts aren't available?) /fs/administratium/accounts/p/pi to /u/pi

I'd like to migrate away from program mounts hopefully; since we have
LDAP, they should be unnecessary :)

An auto.home program map that works on autofs-4.1.2 just returns this:

$ /etc/auto.home pi
/ /fs/administratium/accounts/p/pi

Hmm. So I need that slash in front. Sucks to be me?
