What were you trying to do?

        Make the bitbucket fileset read-only from my workstation,
        without authenticating:

        % attach -n bitbucket
        % echo 'this is read-only' > /mit/bitbucket/read-only

What's wrong:

        The file /mit/bitbucket/read-only was created. The man
        page said:

                                               Also supported are 'r' (read-
        only), 'n' (read-only, do not attempt to authenticate), ...
                    ^^^^^^^^^

What should have happened:

        It should have been apparent that '-n -r' was necessary.
        Perhaps the string "read-only, " could simply be deleted.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
