User's home directories are automounted here.  For
example:

bash$ ypcat passwd | grep bwithrow
bwithrow:<removed>:<nnn>:20:Robert Withrow:/usr25/bwithrow:/bin/bash

But when I log in I see:

bash$ pwd
/a/akila-e1/usr25/bwithrow

Instead of

/usr25/bwithrow

Why is the automount target used instead of the automount
point?

Related question:  Does an access to /a/whatever keep the
cache marked as used like an access to the automount point
would?
