Paths passed to machines not running the automounter

When a pwd or getwd command is run on an automounted file system, often the /tmp_mnt prefix is added to the path. Among programs running on machines with the same file system automounted, the paths are recognized. However, if that same path is passed to a program on a machine on which the file system is not automounted, the program cannot recognize the path.

Rational® Synergy solves this problem by stripping the /tmp_mnt prefix from automounted file systems paths. Rational Synergy also strips any prefix set using the AUTOMOUNT_FIX environment variable.
