Attach, at least in 7.1 and 7.2, has the following bug:
What I want to do:
attach jik -n epeisach -y dkk ...
What happens:
Once a "-n" locker is reached in the argument list, no
authentication will be done for later filesystems on the
command line if those filesystems have already been attached.
In the example above, "jik" will be attached normally,
"epeisach" with no authentication (as was specified) and all
other filesystems (including "dkk"), if they are already
attached, will have no authentication done.
Example:
I have all the lockers in the following command-line already attached
except for jis, so the command gives me tokens in the sipb.mit.edu
cell (for filesystem dgg) and the net.mit.edu cell (for jis) but not
the athena.mit.edu or rel-eng.athena.mit.edu cells despite the "-y":
% attach dgg -n epeisach -y dkk consult watchmaker jis source
Documentation references:
From the attach(1) man page:
-map or -y
Attempt to authenticate the user with Kerberos to the
filesystem server. The authentication may be necessary
in order to have the proper access to the filesystem.
This is the default. If the authentication fails and
the filesystem is being mounted read-only, a warning is
printed and the attach continues.
