I am currently developping an application for the purpose of which I need to retrieve some files from a remote location, that I can only access through ssh. Since I need to automount that repo, I tried to set up an autofs about it (can't put it in fstab since fstab does not mount it back after network failures).
Unfortunaltely, I encountered some problem configuring it. Despite my search, I was not able to find any clue about my problem... so here I am.
Basicely I am trying to do automatically what I used to do that way:
sshfs myuser@xxx.yy.zz.oo: /mnt/mylocalrepo -o allow_other
I need this for a tomcat user whose pid is 502. In order to do that, here's my auto.master:
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $
/misc /etc/auto.misc
/net -hosts
/mnt /etc/auto.sshfs --timeout=30, --ghost, --debug
and my auto.sshfs:
mylocalrepo -fstype=fuse,uid=502,gid=502,IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/myRsaPrivateKey,ro,allow_other :sshfs\#monuser@xxx.yy.zz.oo\:
I also set the output level to 'debug' in /etc/sysconfg/autofs.
Then, /etc/init.d/autofs restart.
Unfortunately, nothing happens.... The logs say :

The repo is in /mnt/ :
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 déc 19 11:51 mylocalrepo
But when I try to access it, through the root user, or through the tomcat-user, after a few minutes of freeze, I get this in logs:

So if any of you have any idea or tip about my problem or how to find more clues about it, they are indeed welcome!
Thanks in advance.

PS : this post is a nearly exact copy of one I posted on stack overflow... but it looked like it was not the place to ask it. So hope this place will be. If it is still not, please take time to explain why.
