System name: the-other-woman
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 7.6P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
I tried to attach the locker aeneas:ftp with the following
command line:
attach -m /mit/athena-dist -e aeneas:ftp
What's wrong:
Well besides the fact that I was a bonehead and inserted
a '-e' in the following command where there shouldn't have been one,
attach shouldn't have considered this an excuse to dump core.
the-other-woman:/var/tmp: attach -m /mit/athena-dist -e aeneas:ftp
attach: Illegal explicit definition "aeneas:ftp" for type Segmentation fault
Note that attach is setuid so it will only dump core if you run it as root.
What should have happened:
I should have gotten an error message that didn't cause attach
to dump core.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
