Hmm.. I wonder if this might be related to a weirdness we're seeing. Running autofs-4.1.3 with previous latest patch to kernel (pre-2005 release) and users use LSF to submit batch jobs to hosts. On linux hosts, user level programs will sometimes exit quickly with a "file does not exist" error, even though you can login to the host and see the file/dir just fine. As a hacked work-around, we have a pre-exec script that tries to stat all the directories they need to force the mounts to happen before their program touches the files. I didn't see any attempts to patch this bit.. did you have any ideas on how to patch that particular piece of code? Or just comment it out? -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Groundskeeper Willie: "oooh.. Me mule wouldn't walk in the mud.
