as i just found out the hard way, autofs 5.1.8 is very, very broken

also "upstream" seems to be a directory on a webserver with a bunch of tarballs
ok figured it out

it tries to default to nfsv3 and ignores everything in the config file unless you explicitly set a port for it to use because of a half-assed refactoring where the default for that went missing

i am not amused at losing 3 hours to this
@ChlorideCull i'm pretty sure everyone else said fuck this 10 years ago and just uses samba

@flussence admittedly, not a good example for good clean well-tested code either
