Direct Map are planned to version 5. Curently you may use symlink to
work aroung the pb.
There are some scripts to automate it. In particular, one in perl in
"http://www.linux-consulting.com/Amd_AutoFS/autofs-5.html#ss5.3" and
one I made (I rewrote the init script) in
"ftp://tjejol.lifl.fr/pub/autofs/autofs.init".
