Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-10
Severity: normal

I've been running an NIS automap for the past few weeks, trying to 
provide automatic homes to people in our NIS domain.

I also personally provision ssh keys to this server. The issue is that 
after the automounter has been running for a couple of days the ssh 
authorized_keys file stops being read from the filesystem- it appears 
that the automounter is refusing to mount /home/cweeks (my home 
directory) in response to ssh's request for the .ssh/authorized_keys 
file.
Note that if I restart the automounter, this works perfectly 
(I can use my ssh key to login).
Also note that I can access my home directory, by cding to it, so the 
automount is not not working, it just seems confused.

Here's some output when we're in this state:
~#> cd /home/cweeks/.ssh
-bash: cd: /home/cweeks/.ssh: No such file or directory
~#> cat /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys
cat: /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory
~#> cd /home/cweeks
/home/cweeks#> cd /home/cweeks/.ssh
/home/cweeks/.ssh#> cat /home/cweeks/.ssh/authorized_keys
....

As you can see, it seems that the automounter is failing to automount 
when a subdirectory is requested.

Thanks,
Christian
