   I'm  trying  to  use  DECathena  to  set  up  filesystem info for a home
   directory  in  a (newly set-up) AFS cell. I can't see anything in Athena
   or  AFS  docs  to  tell me what I'm supposed to give moira for the "pack
   name".  I've  tried  "/afs/<cell>/home/directory" and "volume.name", but
   attach spits them out:

   % attach ccprl
   Badly formatted filesystem definition
   Operation Aborted
   % hesinfo ccprl filsys
   AFS /afs/pegasus.cranfield.ac.uk/home/ccprl w /home/ccprl

why do you not call digital and ask them?  i know that MIT doesn't
ordinarily distribute attach, so there are maybe one or two people
here who have it.

(i suspect that your attach doesn't know about the "AFS" file type).
