I've read in the TODO document that's direct maps are not supported and
won't until version 5.0... We will use like it at work but that's not so
good....
And the second point is that with Solaris we can use an auto_master like
this (not auto.master)
/etc/auto_master
+auto_master_linux_7.0
It could be nice also to see this in a future release (The sooner is the
better)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above

Another known problem (which will be fixed in v 5.x) is the direct map support.

And one more maps like this will not work also :

......
matlab5     titi:/logiciels00/matlab5.2
matlab6 \
    /        titi:/logiciels01/matlab6 \
    /help           toto:/clr41a5_B/Logiciels/matlab_r12/help
......

The current version of autofs will support auto_master.  Direct maps
are supported in autofs4.  Does this suit your needs?  (autofs-4.1.1
will appear in FC test2)

Yep... direct map was what I was looking for.
