Description of problem:

Using executable maps to imitate the Sun "-hosts" map functionality 
suffers from two problems: (1) the exported filesystem paths cannot 
contain spaces, and (2) multi-maps do not work when the filesystem is 
not NFS, or at least in my experience, if the filesystem being 
mounted is SMBFS.

I can understand why #1 does not work, but it would be nice if it 
could be made to work.  However, I consider #2 to be a major flaw.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.1.3-12

*** Information for Problem #1 - Spaces in Exported Paths ***

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that the /net mountpoint is defined in /etc/auto.master 
and that it is running with the standard executable map /etc/auto.net
2. Run: mkdir -p '/tmp/testing/this is a test'
3. Run: exportfs '*:/tmp/testing/this is a test'
4. Run: ls /net/localhost/tmp

Actual results:
All you see under /net/localhost/tmp/testing is 'this'.

Expected results:
You should have seen 'this is a test', which is what Sun's 
automounter does.

*** Information for Problem #2 - Multi-Maps Broken With SMBFS ***

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run: mkdir -p '/tmp/testing/smbnet'
2. Copy the attached executable map, auto.smbnet, into /tmp/testing 
and make sure that it has execute permission
3. Make sure that SMB/CIFS shares exist on your network, and if 
necessary, edit /tmp/testing/auto.smbnet to provide appropriate 
credentials to the remote Samba or Windows server
4. Test your setup with some host on your network by 
running "/tmp/testing/auto.smbnet some_host" and verify that its 
shares are output in the form of a multi-map
5. Make sure that the /tmp/testing/smbnet mountpoint is defined 
in /etc/auto.master and that it is running with the attached 
executable map /tmp/testing/auto.smbnet
6. Run: ls /tmp/testing/smbnet/some_host
7. Run: ls /tmp/testing/smbnet/some_host/specific_share
  
Actual results:
You see all of the shares available on some_host, but when you try to 
access a specific share, you receive an error message of the 
form "ls: /tmp/testing/smbnet/some_host/specific_share: No such file 
or directory."  Looking at /var/log/messages reveals what seems to be 
a potential syntax incompatibilty or parsing problem between 
automount and mount.smbfs.  There may also be other problems having 
to do with non-NFS multi-maps.

Expected results:
You should have seen the contents of specific_share.
