I'm not seeing this here. Building autofs into a 2.2.15pre4 kernel works
as it should.
The ability to do nested mounts is wonderful! It would be great if
automount could be extended to recognize constructs like:
foo &:/ / &:/usr /usr
I had to create an executable map to perform the same function, but this
is less intuitive for those used to most commercial Unix dialects.
Still, nice work!

I've noticed this as well. Also, the stanza in autofs.spec between
%changelog
and
* Tue ...
needs to be properly punctuated. RPM gags on lines in the changelog
section unless they are in this form:
* First line
- continuation line..
Finally, the spec %define version xxxx statement still says "3.1.4".
Unless its expansion in the Source: statement exactly matches the .tar.gz
name, rpm will not like it.
These are minor points, but will cause newbies a lot of unecessary
frustration when trying to build the package.
