Sorry I didn't find this sooner.
It only affects a few fringe users so I'm concerned this bug will be
lost, which would be a pity since it's a fringe use that the new
dotfiles were supposed to get right!
If someone has an attach command in their .environment file, when they
attempt anything like an rcp or an rsh, they will get the obscure
message:
attach: Command not found.
Apparently, what is happening is that rsh and the dot files have agreed
not to do anything funny with the search path. Unfortunately, the
attach command is advertised to work in .environment, so some amount of
path setting must be re-enabled.
