Subject: Autofs hang, centos 4.4

Hi All-
I'm having this problem with autofs under CentOS 4.4 linux that I was
hoping someone could shed some light on... Basically I have a bunch of
auto.* tables set up in /etc. They work fine. What does not work fine
is that when someone tries to automount a directory that doesn't exist,
the command hangs forever, and has to be killed. For instance:
% cd /projects/foo
[hangs]
because /projects/foo is unavailable. Now let me make it a bit more
complex: The machine I'm mounting on is on a private network
(10.x.x.x), the nfs server is on a public network. There is no NAT
routing to the public network. I was assuming that because the machine
could not reach the NFS server it would just fail or timeout, not hang
the terminal...
I know this is an odd setup, but it is the way it is and I'm trying to
deal with it. :) Am I out of luck? Or can I tweak something to make
this just fail or timeout? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Regards,
erich
