And why not? Is this not precisely what the Sun automounter does?
Yes but not all distributions store their maps in /etc.
I don't want to make it hard for myself and others that may need this in time to come.
Gentoo stores maps in /etc/autofs for example.

This patch addresses the problem if a user has the following in one of their automount maps: # auto.misc test -fstype=autofs auto.m2
Before it would automatically assume that auto.m2 was a yp/nis map. The patch now checks if the file exists in /etc/ (and if it's a file or program map) or if it exists in yp (according to the order in nsswitch.conf).
In the future we may want to include functionality in the lookup_xxx.so modules so we can more easily detect if a certain map exists.
Thanks, Chris
