This file bears little resemblance to the one in the sources. The difficulty
is that programs that depend on it (e.g., Xlogin) won't build because the
distributed one has a data type "inaddr_t" used which is never defined.
/bin/login works around this by (ack!) placing the typedef right before the
inclusion of <attach.h>.
This means that /bin/login was probably built with the wrong version of
attach.h as well.
The *real* problem is that there should be a file that contains only the
definitions of the attach exit codes for use by programs like /bin/login.
That's all it needs to know.
