It is possible ?
It might be possible to come up with a method to mount all the keys in a indirect map on first access but that sounds like it would be more difficult than it's worth. Do you really need to mount these separately? Could you use a direct mount map instead? You could do this by using the following: in the master map (possibly /etc/auto.master): /- /etc/auto.direct.homes and /etc/auto.direct.homes could contain: /home oscar:/home This way there is only one mount not many and it will always make all home directories available on first access.
