When I attempt to attach olc-stock, I get:
Toto>attach olc-stock
olc-stock: You're not allowed to attach a filesystem here
Toto>
Therefore, the olc-answers program won't work either.
I have the regular /etc/attach.conf from the release.

... fixed. /usr/athena/lib/olc/stock is now a symlink to
/mit/olc-stock, so attach will now work. From your message, I gather
you were using the AFS packs, since the problem you describe is
symptomatic of trying to attach over the AFS hierarchy - in the default
/etc/attach.conf, this action is prohibited since it is possible to
get the cache-manager and mount-table very confused. Specifically, when
a parent directory changes in the read-only volume and you finally cache
the new information, it is uncertain what you will be accessing at the
mount-point that you established in the AFS hierarchy.
