My understanding was that home directories were the "killer app" for
automounting. Nearly every example I've ever seen regarding automount
configuration included home directories. As far as I know, the only
performance penalty you pay is the initial latency trying to access a
directory if it's not mounted. After that (until it times out), it
functions like a regular NFS mount. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

It shouldn't even be that high up; it sounds more like a pure NFS issue,
but I'm not sure I have all the details straight.
I've used JBuilder in an automounted NFS environment, and everything
works pretty much as you'd expect. Granted, neither RH9 nor Irix were
involved.

How does this compare to what `ls' would show you? (try `ls /users',
`ls /users/myhome', `ls /users/myhome/TESTING.d', etc.) After the
directory is mounted, its contents should show up, i.e., if you make
sure /users/myhome is mounted (with, say, ls or cd), then do Open
File..., TESTING.d and everything below it should show up. Does this
not happen?
