I modified the ebuild for autofs4 and tried to compile. I get:

gcc -g -Os -march=athlon-tbird -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -D_REENTRANT -rdynamic -fPIE -D_GNU_SOURCE -I../include -DAUTOFS_LIB_DIR=\"/usr/lib/autofs\"  -DAUTOFS_MAP_DIR=\"/etc/autofs\" -DAUTOFS_CONF_DIR=\"/etc/sysconfig\" -DVERSION_STRING=\"5.0.0_beta1\" -c direct.c
direct.c: In function `handle_packet_expire_direct':
direct.c:969: error: label at end of compound statement
direct.c: In function `handle_packet_missing_direct':
direct.c:1260: error: label at end of compound statement
make[1]: *** [direct.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/tmp/portage/autofs-5.0.0_beta1/work/autofs-5.0.0_beta1/daemon'

Note that I removed all the patches that were used for autofs4. I'm 
using gcc 3.4.6.

Another question I have: I once asked if it's possible to run the actual 
mount command as the user trying to read the directory, instead of root. 
I was told that this is impossible in version 4. Will it be possible 
now?

Thanks,
Moshe
