auto.net generates a map okay, but it can not be used, because the
mount points are not created properly in /net/cassidy:

Dec  8 16:05:20 gimli automount[6000]: mount(nfs): mkdir_path /net/cassidy/c2 
failed: Operation not permitted
Dec  8 16:05:20 gimli automount[6000]: mount(nfs): mkdir_path /net/cassidy/c1 
failed: Operation not permitted

I don't know how this is to be resolved. I'm guessing that the file system
that autofs provides just can not be written.

I don't really want to export / to clients. That gives them /etc/shadow.
