Whenever anybody tries to log in to this workstation (ic3-462-5), the
following message appears:

Can't open /usr/tmp/attachtab for read: No such file or directory
Operation aborted

and you wind up logging in with a temporary directory.  Something
similar to this message also comes up when the workstation activates,
but it disappears too fast for me to get the text of the message.  I'm
guessing that the w'st'n can't attach my locker because it can't find
the /usr/tmp/attachtab file.  Is that what's going on?

Is there a simple fix for this, or is it something that Athena
Operations has to do?  We have tried rebooting the w'st'n, but that
doesn't seem to cure it.
