   /etc/attach.conf contains the following line:

	   setuid {nfs,rvd}:^bldg.*-.*

   However, operations is no longer using names in that format to
   represent system packs.  

   Does attach default to nosuid?  If so, then this is going to be a
   problem, yes?  If not, then why is this line in attach.conf in the
   first place?

Attach defaults to setuid; I resisted putting that line into
/etc/attach.conf --- it wasn't my idea.  Feel free to delete it....
