funny symbolic link being created

I finally got my autofs stuff towork. But i suddenly got this wired problem. When i'm in the automountd dorectory and run ls -la. it suddently creates a symbolic link to the auto directory. Ex.

auto.home

  • ...... server:/export/home/&

df -k /home

(automount) 0 0 0 - /home

ls -la /home

....... bob
..... jane

but when I cd there and run ls -la I get:

..... bob
..... jane
...... ls -> /export/home/ls

it seems to be making all the command on that directory a link to the /export/home

any clue? I have never had this happen before nor incounter this.
thanks all
