Running "detach -lint" periodically from crontab is a BAD idea. We
did this for a while on the dialups, and it made things much worse.
The current coding of "detach -lint" causes the filesystem and
attachtab to get out of sync. The result is a lot of real directories
full of files in /mit instead of mount points. If you really want to
update the mod time on attachtab, then just run "touch /etc/attachtab"
out of cron instead.
