Is this really true? My impression was that autofs implementations such as
the Solaris version would use the name service switch really as a switch.
It would look for a map following the standard rules which apply to
nsswitch.conf entries. I can remember using a combination of NIS+ and
flat files for map sources, without having to resort to the "+" tricks.
