should be ignored when displaying mount information.

<content type='text'>
A "strictexpire" mount option has been added to the autofs file system.

It is meant to be used in cases where a GUI continually accesses or an
application frquently scans an automount directory tree causing an
accumulation of otherwise unused mounts.
