What were you trying to do?
	attach an nfs locker


What went wrong?

	I accidently used my alias to attach the locker without
	authentication, and then had to detach to recover:

speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: alias att
attach -h -n
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: att mb
attach: NESSUS.MIT.EDU:/backup/moira attached to /mit/mb for filesystem mb
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: ls /mit/mb
/mit/mb: Permission denied
Exit 2

     At this point, simply attaching the locker, used to fix the
     problem, Attach would say somethign like "locker is already
     attached; mapping".

speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: attach mb
attach: NESSUS.MIT.EDU:/backup/moira attached to /mit/mb for filesystem mb
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: ls /mit/mb
/mit/mb: Permission denied
Exit 2

     Hmmm, ok, maybe if I invoke fsid explicitly....

speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: fsid nessus
fsid: nessus mapped
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: ls /mit/mb
/mit/mb: Permission denied
Exit 2

     nope, what happens if I detach and re-attach, with authentication
     this time...

speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: detach mb; attach mb
detach: mb detached
attach: NESSUS.MIT.EDU:/backup/moira attached to /mit/mb for filesystem mb
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: ls /mit/mb
backup_1  backup_2  backup_3  conf
speaker-for-the-dead:~/Mail/inbox: 


What should have happened?

	1) I shoudl have rememebred to authenticate teh first time

	2) even tho I forgot, just running attach locker should have
           solved the problem

	3) fisd certainly should have worked



Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	
detach mb is not doind a fsid -u nessus, but after thinking abotu it,
I'm not sure it is supposed to.
