5.1A PK2: Probs with ACL and autofs

Dear list,
We just applied PatchKit 2 to our TruCluster 5.1A.
We are using autofs on the Cluster as well as on the client
machines. The cluster is serving all homedirectories among other
things.

On all clients and the cluster we had acl_mode=enable in the sec:
section of sysconfigdb.

We had no problems with ACL and autofs prior to applying PK2.

After PK2 any directory in an indirect map is inaccessible to the
normal user:

> ls -ld /home
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Jun 10 17:07 /home/

> ls -l /home
ls: /home: Permission denied

If I disable acl with
# sysconfig -r sec acl_mode=disable
everything works fine:

> ls -l /home
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 85 user fbedv 16384 Jun 10 17:04 user/

The problem is the same on the TruCluster, where homedirs are locally
served (autofsd creates symlinks) and the clients (only one so far),
where homedirs are real NFSmounts.

Directories from direct maps are not affected.

Currently we leave acl_mode disabled on the cluster and the one client
which has PK2 and defer application of PK2 to the other ~50 clients
until this issue is resolved. Otherwise nobody would be get his
homedirectory.

Any idea anybody?

TIA
