Automounter to dump maps

[Ondrej Valousek <webserv@s3group.cz>]

Hi Ian / all,

Is there any way to make automounter dump maps it sees? I was just 
thinking about it - with files / NIS / program backend it is not much 
needed but it could be quite helpful with ldap backend - restarting 
automounter with verbose logging is not too practical in the production 
environment.

I would imagine either some small standalone program using autofs 
internals which would dump all (or certain specified) maps or running a 
second instance of autofs (with some parameter) which would not mount 
anything and just dump the maps and exits.

Is this a completely misplaced idea or is there a way to achieve this 
functionality now?

Many thanks,
Ondrej
