        Hello, Ian and other.
As I've understand you've implemented readdir relaited syscalls in 
autofs for some map types, have you?

If so then I hope that soon we could see programm maps with such 
functionality.
I want to do progamm map wich allow something more native representation 
of windows workgroups like NetworkNigborhood. It would be very useful in 
plain networks(like our ~900 PC in one workgroup).

            Best regards. Ruslan.
