I am wondering about my auto.smb patch (see http://www.spinics.net/lists/autofs/msg00402.html).

I can add a comment about that link...

That only makes sense if the result is only going to be visible to that one individual.

Linux is a multi-user system, so having automounts that depend on who made the request to do the mount makes no sense if the result is going to be visible to everyone.

I've not seen a system whereby different people have different views of what is mounted.
