Solaris 10 autofs directory permissions - Solution

Problem Description==================================================

OS 5.10 Generic_127127-11

Simple client auto_master / auto_direct setup [OS 5.10
Generic_127127-11], see files below

/etc # cat auto_master
/-      /etc/auto_direct

/etc # cat /etc/auto_direct
/sysadmin/audit/output  -rw     londeploy-p1:/sysadmin/audit/output
/sysadmin/audit/bin             londeploy-p1:/sysadmin/audit/bin

Directories shared [on 5.9 Generic_117171-15] as:

#  share -F nfs -o rw,anon=0 -d "Audit Home" /sysadmin/audit/output #
share -F nfs -o ro -d "Audit Home" /sysadmin/audit/bin

# AutoFS service [refreshed]

/etc # svcs | grep -i autofs
online          9:16:10 svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default

PROBLEM
-----------

Automounted directories loose permissions once automounted

Before :

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other       4608 Jul 22 10:22 output
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other        512 Jul 22 10:19 bin

After [IE After cd'ing into directory]:

dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root           1 Jul 22 09:29 output
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root     root           1 Jul 22 09:29 bin

# cd output
bash: cd: output: Permission denied
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

Can anyone tell me why my directory permissions are changing and how to
make them persistant with automountd?


Solution==================================================
If the execute permission is set, it becomes an executable map which is
a shell script that outputs the required automount commands, but can
include extra logic to determine which mounts should be made.  From
automount(1M):

      Local maps that have the execute bit set in their file  per-
      missions  will  be  executed by the automounter and provided
      with a key to be looked up as an  argument.  The  executable
      map  is expected to return the content of an automounter map
      entry on its stdout or no output  if  the  entry  cannot  be
      determined.  A direct map cannot be made executable.

Simply chmod'd my /etc/auto_direct from 755 to 644 and the problem was
resolved.
