Hi guys,

I have over than 200 RHEL WS4 workstation in the war house.
The home is automount as follows:
more /etc/auto.home
*       -rw     server:/vol/home/&

I noticed that some workstations starts to mount absent mount points.
May  9 08:29:51 client automount[31782]: failed to mount /home/.hidden
May  9 08:29:52 client automount[13077]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 
server:/vol/home/.hidden on /home/.hidden
May  9 13:29:03 client automount[13075]: failed to mount /home/tools.lnx86
May  9 13:29:04 client automount[13077]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 
server:/vol/home/tools.lnx86 on /home/tools.lnx86

Debugging a client I detected the process /usr/libexec/gam_server is 
responsible to this access. Executing a kill -HUP stop the automount to 
mount these mount points.
Have someone seen this before?

There isn't any reason to gam_server mount it. It is also aleatory...
Any tip? Can I safety disable the server? Which process does start it?

cheers,
