We're using NIS with autofs across IRIX, RHEL4, RHEL5, Gentoo, Debian,
SLES9/10 (IA64), and OSX (10.4/.5) systems. Under RHEL5 it seems
sometimes there is a delay in mounting a directory such that home
directories don't appear for a user upon login and the user is asked
to login with a / home directory. Sometimes even trying for the 2nd
time doesn't help. This also happens if the user logs in, has a shell
open (konsole or gnome-terminal), then after a while tries to open
another term. This happens if the user opens a new term within 10
seconds of opening the other term or after 5 mins, so I don't think
it's an issue of the automount timing out and unmounting itself and
then trying to remount. Furthermore, we don't see this problem with
any of the other aforementioned OSs. Any idea on what changes have
caused this behavior in RHEL5 vs RHEL4?
