So, attach on snork tries to open /var/athena/attachtab as a file, and
gets confused:

 $ /bin/athena/attach
 Bad version number in /var/athena/attachtab
 Operation aborted

 $ uname -a
 NetBSD snorklewacker.mit.edu 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (GENERIC) #0: Fri May  7 12:27:31 PDT 1999     perry@cynic.cynic.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

 $ ls -al /var/athena/attachtab
 total 10

 drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Jun 18 11:51 locker
 drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Jun 18 11:51 mountpoint

If instead of /bin/athena/attach I try:

 ;  /u1/usr/build/athena/bin/attach/attach
 Ignoring obsolete attach.conf option: /bin/athena/aklog
 filesystem             mountpoint             user               mode
 ----------             ----------             ----               ----
 Could not open attachtab lock file: Permission denied.

Which seems more likely to work, if I were root.  This prevents me
from logging into the machine; has no one else noticed this?  (or
perhaps it's already been reported and I just missed it.  shrug.)
