Solaris 10 autofs directory permissions - Solution

This error is related to
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-62-212703-1 and
the fact that my map file has 755 permissions not 644.

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.

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

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?

Thanks
