Without looking at the code, I thought of another problem which this will
not satisfy. The scenario of logging into and then say telnetting back in.
You will have your homedir detached. I think what is really needed is a
mechanism that will try to authenticate (if there is reason to believe
the homedir is already mounted) and if that fails, attach.
The reason for this is that we don;t want the homedir to be detached if you
login twice. Inly the one that really did the attach should unmount.
