There have been two problems with attach:
1) Hesiod returning domain-qualified names, which don't work with Kerberos, and
2) Hesiod returning all-uppercase names, which don't work with Kerberos as
service instances.
(1) was fixed in 5.k for k>0. (2) was fixed today, and is included in the
5.4A update. The fix for (2) was made in /etc/athena/nfsid (which attach
calls). It remains to be discussed what, if anything, should be done in
the Kerberos library (that is, whether or not Kerberos should be case-sensitive
for service and instance names). (Note: this may be explicit somewhere;
I haven't checked.)
