I wanted to check in and see where we are in rolling out miki's change
to attach.
The need for it is that as folks use our newly ported Solaris version of
Athena Kerberized NFS, there's a bug in attach that we just fixed that
prevents authentication from working properly. The user gets an error
when they shouldn't.
How soon should we go live with this fix?
Am I right in thinking that we're very confident that the code change is
correct and doesn't break anything?
Am I right in believing that we could do a minor patch release in short order?
The bug is of moderate impact, but serves as a further embarassment
inasmuch as it prevents the long awaited Solaris knfs from working.
