Thought I'd take this opportunity to plug autofsng. It supports lazy
mounting and direct maps.
It still a bit beta, and lacks some of the heuristic logic available in
autofs 4.1.*. However, the project's goal is to be a drop-in substitute
that allows %100 integration into a Solaris automount environment.
If interested, patches and tarballs are available at:
ftp://ftp-eng.cobalt.com/pub/users/ssmith/autofsng/
(home will be changing soon).
