I'm guessing that there is some policy enforced by the NFS server here that lets you do something like this.
...and here's the source code....

http://autofs5.sourcearchive.com/documentation/5.0.4-2/mount__nfs_8c-source.html
Here's the comment right above the line that generates that message.

             * If the "port" option is specified, then we don't want
             * a bind mount. Use the "port" option if you want to
             * avoid attempting a local bind mount, such as when
             * tunneling NFS via localhost.


So no surprise that the behavior is different on the NFS server than the rest of the cluster.

Please compare the lines between 20-30 in both the cases. All the parameters are same but in the first case it says the user "nasir is local". What does it mean ?

    Thanks again!  To answer your queries,

        -- I get the same error for *su - nasir*
        -- I don't think ssh is not creating oddjobd ; see the error
    in the trailing mail which I am getting in the konsole while
    trying to login. It does try to create home folder
        -- The client IPA machine was created with --mkhomedir switch.
    Also, I can see *pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so *entry in the system-auth
    and password-auth files of pam(But not in ssh file, though I
    manually tried once to insert in ssh file and then it was trying
    to create the home folder twice while SSHing !!).
        -- As I said in previous mail, Pre-created directories get
    autmounted and setup correctly when I try to login to NFS
    server(cohort.org.hugyat) but NOT to other machines.
        -- When autofs is disabled, directories get created
    successfully in the local hard disk on all the machines configured
    with --mkhomedir switch

    Any clue ?

    Thanks and regards,
    Nidal


        Lets try to isolate it a little further.  If you log in to
        that machine as root, and then do su - nasir, does it let you
        create the directory or give you the same error?  I'm guessing
        it is ssh that is complaining here.  If the mount point is set
        up correctly, you should be able to crete and chown the
        /home/nasir directory, either via odd job, or just test it as
        root.

        What I am guessing is happening here is that ssh is not
triggereing the odd job creation of the home directory. Either that, or this particular IPA client was run without the
        switch to create the home-dir.  If Automount is commented out,
        does the /home/nasir directory get created on the local disk?

        No! it allows auto mount that pre created home folder *ONLY
         to the NFS server*. For e.g if I have */xtra/home/nasir*
        alread created, then it automatically mounts  while login to
        NFS server ( ssh -l nasir NFS_SERVER ). But when I try to
        login as the same user to some other machine ( ssh -l nasir
        ANY_IPA_MACHINE) it gives the following error,

        *[root@openipa ~]# ssh -l nasir 192.168.1.222 -X*
        *nasir@192.168.1.222's password: *
        *Creating home directory for nasir.*
        *Last login: Tue May 17 04:06:43 2011 from openipa.cohort.org*
        *Could not chdir to home directory /home/nasir: No such file
        or directory*
        *-sh-4.1$ ls*

        So it is not working right ? Hope it is clear to you now.

        Thanks and regards,
        Nidal



            If I manually create one home folder( e.g
            */xtra/home/abc* ) under than, then I can mount it, but
            nothing can be written to it by the user as it gives
            permission denied error.


            Yes, but it should allow the root user to create and
            chown the directory, so the autocreation of home dirs
            should work.
