I don't know anything of automounter, but if /home/username is provided as a symlink to /usr/home/username, then that behaviour is expected: entering a symlinked directory changes the path to the expanded form of the symlink. Probably, if you try: cd /home/rudi ; /bin/pwd You get the same path. Ariane
