I'm silly here, the user is not the problem, this is already available, 
in the options, or - in my construction - in the config file, in the 
parameter AUTOFS_USER
and in the mountpath, but the environment this user is using! A pid of 
the process would be very usefull, for example.
But this is not easy. When I'm logged in twice with the same account, 
which session should get the question for the passphrase?
