Just to clarify what Dan said, here's how attach processes your
arguments:
> attach -h -n -t afs -e /afs/zone.mit.edu/test/emacs-20 -m /mit/emacs
-h: Set the "no zephyr subs" flag
-n: Set the "no authenticate" flag
-t afs: Set the fs type to "afs"
-e: Set the "explicit" flag
/afs/zone.mit.edu/test/emacs-20: attach this locker
-m /mit/emacs Set the mountpoint to "/mit/emacs"
Note that "-e" does not take an argument and that it's too late for
"-m /mit/emacs" to have any effect by the time it's processed.
Changing attach's argument processing policy (e.g. to process all
arguments before performing any attach operations) could easily bite
users who try to attach multiple things at once, so I'm not willing to
do that.
