Description of problem: autofs version 5 has been updated to provide the ability to specify whether mount options given either globally or in an entry in the master map should be appended to or replaced by options given in individual map entries. A description of this option hasn't been added to auto.master(5). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55 Steps to Reproduce: Comparison of the configuration file, /etc/sysconfig/autofs, and the man page autofs.master(5) will show the option is available in the configuration file but isn't listed anywhere on the man page.
