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?
