Hi Alvin,

thanks for your answer.
Here is an example for the auto.master etc:
In auto.master:
  /test   /etc/auto.test  -intr,bg,soft
In auto.test:
  test1   -rw             test_host:/fs_blabla

(btw: test_host is running Irix 6.4)
Mounting /test/test1 is working well.

For an example I've three directories in /test/test1/{dir1,dir2,dir3};
if I'm working in tcsh/bash, and execute
  cd /test/test1/[TAB]
then it only shows: dir1, dir2, though we've another directory dir3 here.
This also happens to files (/test/test1/{file1,file2,file3}):
  ls /test/test1/file*
shows /test/test1/{file2,file3} .

If executing
  ls {-l} /test/test1/
it shows all dirs/files again.

This problem is very annoying as the filename expansion is often used
in shells.

Btw: we're using NIS for the auto.master/auto.test files.
The NFS clients are SuSE7.1 with autofs-4.0.0pre9 installed on it.

The strange thing is that on some of these SuSE7.1/autofs-4.00pre9 clients
the phenomen mentioned above didn't occure. I'm very confused why.

Thanks for any help.

Btw: can one use different hosts for importing the same filesystem for more than
one host like in auto.test:
 test1  -rw  {test_host, test_host2}:/fs_blabla
.
