System name:		test-3100
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.3N
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
A friend was trying to login while aphrodite(his fileserver) was down.

What's wrong:
After first attach failed, window asking if a second attach should be
attempted.  Friend responded yes, then second attach failed.  Then,
instead of asking if user wanted to login using a temp directory, the
computer just went back to the login window.  Exactly how is one
supposed to login now if your fileserver is down?

What should have happened:
User given a temp directory with disk space on workstation.
