Automount supports wildcards.  Does static mount?

Alas, UNIX admins are likely to aggregate home directories in a topology
unfriehdly to z/OS NFS automount wildcards.  This can happen if physical
pathnames appear in /etc/passwd.

Alas, there is no simple way to convert UNIX LDAP mountmaps to z/OS
mountmap format.  (AFAIK.)

Alas, z/OS prohibits sharing mount maps between a server and an NFS
client.  The server must specify "filesystype: zFS"; the client
"filesystype: NFS".  on Solaris, in contrast, the mount maps can be
identical.  The server simply recognizes "That's me!" and shortcuts
the mount.
