Package: autofs Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-10 Severity: normal I've been running an NIS automap for the past few weeks, trying to provide automatic homes to people in our NIS domain.
I also personally provision ssh keys to this server. The issue is that after the automounter has been running for a couple of days the ssh authorized_keys file stops being read from the filesystem- it appears that the automounter is refusing to mount /home/cweeks (my home directory) in response to ssh's request for the .ssh/authorized_keys file. Note that if I restart the automounter, this works perfectly (I can use my ssh key to login). Also note that I can access my home directory, by cding to it, so the automount is not not working, it just seems confused. Here's some output when we're in this state: ~#> cd /home/cweeks/.ssh -bash: cd: /home/cweeks/.ssh: No such file or directory ~#> cat /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys cat: /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory ~#> cd /home/cweeks /home/cweeks#> cd /home/cweeks/.ssh /home/cweeks/.ssh#> cat /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys .... As you can see, it seems that the automounter is failing to automount when a subdirectory is requested.
