These daemons:

  6145 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_mnt_auto.pid --timeout=1500 /mnt/auto file /etc/auto.misc
  6153 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/automount --pid-file=/var/run/autofs/_mnt_dvd.pid --timeout=5 /mnt/dvd file /etc/auto.dvd

started from this file:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14026 2005-04-04 01:44 /etc/init.d/autofs

control the automounter I have. There is another one I know of called
"amd". "ls -ld" the mount point and make sure it's not a link. Trace it
back to where it isn't and run "lsof" on its parent directory like so:

eben@pc:~$ \ls -ld /scratch
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-01-30 17:45 /scratch -> /mnt/auto/scratch

(a link)

eben@pc:~$ \ls -ld /mnt/auto
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-08-12 16:30 /mnt/auto

(not a link)

root@pc:/etc/init.d# lsof | grep /mnt/auto
automount 6145 root 4r DIR 0,15 0 10080 /mnt/auto

Therefore, "automount" is the program I have. YMMV.
