Advances users might try something like this:

09:42 [summer at bilby ~]$ cat /etc/auto.misc | egrep '^[a-z]'
cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
js    ns:/home/users/summer
usbdisk :/dev/sda1
fc6-src-1 -fstype=auto,ro,loop,nosuid,nodev 
:/net/ns/var/local/mirrors/linux/Fedora/6/source/FC-6-SRPMS-disc1.iso
fc6-src-2 -fstype=auto,ro,loop,nosuid,nodev 
:/net/ns/var/local/mirrors/linux/Fedora/6/source/FC-6-SRPMS-disc2.iso
fc6-src-3 -fstype=auto,ro,loop,nosuid,nodev 
:/net/ns/var/local/mirrors/linux/Fedora/6/source/FC-6-SRPMS-disc3.iso
fc6-src-4 -fstype=auto,ro,loop,nosuid,nodev 
:/net/ns/var/local/mirrors/linux/Fedora/6/source/FC-6-SRPMS-disc4.iso
09:42 [summer at bilby ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/auto.misc
autofs-4.1.3-187

Beware of linewrap.
Note that these specific examples require that /etc/auto.master enables 
/etc/auto.net

Putting an entry in /etc/fstab works too, and properly crafted does not 
require a user to be root.
