Local Automount PWD problem

[Glenn Wagner]

I have 2 identical servers running 10.20, automounter is at PV3. The only difference is one has a few updated patches, one of which is the csh cumulative patch PHCO_19434. The machine with the patch ahs a problem. In the csh shell, when I type cd ~username or /user/username and that user directory resides on the same host where the /user/usernmae is an nfs link (/net/hostname/path/to/username), I get the error "pwd: No such file or directory" The /net/hostname mount point points to /. I did not have this problem when running the automounter at PV2.
Any ideas why this happens with the csh cumulative patch and not without it?

Hi Glenn!
Maybe the problem's related to this described in the Patch "Defect Description":
"4. In a loopback file system (LOFS), the 'pwd' command returns with "no such file or directory" in csh(1)."

Do you really need the patch?

good luck.

I seem to remember installing the patch for some reason but it has been a while so I can't remember why. I can try uninstalling the patch and see what else breaks. That was what I was going to do but I wanted to see if someone else had seen this and had another fix.
