I am trying to install autofs-4.0.0pre10-1 from the src.rpm and I am
running into some problems.  The main problem is that it doesn't seem to be
doing anything.  As root I run
rpm -i autofs-4.0.0pre10-1.src.rpm
then I get the following warning:
warning: user jeremy does not exist - using root
then it exits and nothing seems to have changed.  No autofs package is
installed and I can't find the source anywhere.  Any help you could give me
would be greatly appreciated.

This really isn't an autofs question, it's basic RPM stuff. You have to build the package.

If an RH system, cd into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run rpm -bb autofs.spec..

and please read up on how rpms work. Also, install sudo and start using that. You shouldn't be installing rpms as yourself (I'm surprised it worked).
