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).
