something should be logged ... donno where in your box it would be
	messages or syslog   in /var/log
	or possibly /var/log/autofs/*

make sure that faq.html and other doc files is exported readonly
and you can use the ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux template as
an example config setup

	than you can do
	ls -la /var/autofs/misc/debian.fq

but its probably easier to mirror the documentation locally than
to try to get it automounting if debian.org/documentation is not
exporting itself
