The only supported place is /usr/tmp.
/site/etc does not exist by default... the version in /etc was for a
transition when a new version of "attach" was being written.
/etc/attachtab no longer exists and is in fact purged in 6.4R (and is
still being purged in 7.0).

/etc/attachtab is a documented location for attachtab, and has been for
a long time. From attachtab(5):

The location of attachtab can be dynamically configured in
/etc/attach.conf; by default it is located in
/usr/tmp/attachtab. It is also commonly placed in
/etc/attachtab or /site/etc/attachtab.
