hi ya david...
there is a semi archive... one huge file...
http://www.Linux-Consulting.com/AutoFS/autofs_Email_Archive
donno what the issue is...
- but you can make the system ask for a user passwd or not
depending on how they login and how you mount it
asking for passwd is good and bad...depending on what it is you are
gonna do with the mounted data...
have fun
