Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.3.13 (with mkserv)

What were you trying to do?
Globally prevent 'add' from authenticating to AFS servers and
getting Zephyr notification. Set this in my .bash_environment:
aklog athena.mit.edu sipb.mit.edu net.mit.edu zone.mit.edu dev.mit.edu
add_opts="-a -h -n"
What's wrong:
attach gets confused if I, for example, 'add -f gnu'. The add
function expands to
(attach -Padd -b $add_opts $@)
attach -Padd -b -a -h -n -f gnu
So add interprets -f as an 'attach' option rather than an 'add'
option, and gets confused.
What should have happened:
/mit/gnu/bin should have appeared at the front of $PATH.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
add(1), attach(1), /usr/athena/lib/init/bashrc
