The reason for "consult" failing to attach without Kerberos tickets is
that it is listed to be attached for write access. The "sipb" file
system is listed as needing read access only. Since you have to run
"nfsid" successfully in order to write to the file system, writeable
file systems don't get attached if there are no Kerberos tickets. You
can get around this with "attach -r consult".
The consultants may wish to change the listing in hesiod to get around
this problem. They are the only ones who need write access; if they
want others to use it, it should probably default to read-only.
