I have a curious problem that seems like it must be some dumb mistake,
but I can't seem to see it.

I have a SuSE Entperprise 9 (x86_64) system running automount (using
autofs4) that is setup so that it mounts /apps areas from different
systems as /a/<host>.  For one system I get permission denied when
trying to cd to it, but I can mount it by hand just fine.

/etc/auto.master:
/a     /etc/auto.a
-nosuid,rw,hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768

/etc/auto.a:
systema         systema.x.com:/apps
systemb         systemb.x.com:/apps
systemc         systemc.y.x.com:/apps

When I try to cd to /a/systemc I get:
automount[20198]: failed to mount /a/systemc

The wierd thing is that I can do this just fine:
mount -o nosuid,rw,hard,intr,vers=3,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
systemc.y.x.com:/apps /mnt

I did a tcpdump and I get:

15:28:26.045956 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF],
length: 84) myhost.x.com.870 > systemc.y.x.com.sunrpc: UDP, length: 56
15:28:26.176648 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  56, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF],

15:28:26.307373 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  56, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF],
length: 52) systemc.y.x.com.nfs > myhost.x.com.913444943: reply ok 24
null
15:28:26.307391 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl  64, id 35564, offset 0, flags
[none], length: 80) myhost.x.com > systemc.y.x.com: icmp 60:
myhost.x.com udp port 870 unreachable

The only thing different between systemc and systema/b (which are
fine) is that systemc (the one with problems) is at a remote location
on a ~0.110ms latency link.  Again, I can do a mount by hand just
fine, but automount fails.

Thanks,

    Chris
