Issue
- NFS server and client are integrated with active directory and users home directories are exported and mounted through autofs in client system. When user try to create files in its home directory it says "Permission denied"

/home *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
Client:
$ cat /etc/auto.home
ADuser NFSServer:/home/ADuser
$ touch testfile
touch: cannot touch `testfile': Permission denied
