How to prevent automount (autofs) changing protection of indirect map mountpoint

Question

How do I prevent autofs (automount) from changing the protection of its owned mountpoint.

# chmod 2771 /cust
# ls -ld /cust
drwxrws--x. 2 root root 4096 Mar 13 14:43 /cust
# systemctl start autofs
# ls -ld /cust
drwxr-xr-x 332 root root 0 Mar 14 16:26 /cust

# grep cust auto.master
/cust /etc/auto.cust            --ghost
# grep user auto.cust
user :/fs1/cust/&

The permissions of the mount point after you mounted your nfs share are the ones of your nfs folder on your nfs server.

you can try to change the permissions on your nfs server:

chmod 2771 /fs1/cust

Not sure I follow, it is true that the /fs1 filesystem has drwxr-xr-x – Paul Hergt Mar 15 '18 at 14:33
One other point, the /fs1/cust does have 2771 protection. – Paul Hergt Mar 15 '18 at 15:11
Sorry, I was a bit quick to read and saw user fs1:/cust/& instead of user :/fs1/cust/& – Hadrien Huvelle Mar 15 '18 at 18:04
