This outputs eg something like 

-fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 \
        /export/user serverhost:/export/user 
        .....

So there are options, a qouted newline and then the map entry without the key. 
Fine. Would be nice if this information could be integrated into the man 
pages as well. However what about my --bind paramter (alltough it turned out 
that I probably do not need it)? Could it be given in the first line, i.e 
does autofs treat the first line somwhat different to allow options like 

--bind  -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid,nonstrict,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

or does this lead to problems like Jim Carter supposed?

Thanks
Rainer
