The bug is not with "attach" but rather with the NFS server on
pit-manager.
There was a post 7.2 release for the central NFS file servers to correct
several NFS bugs, one of which was our non-conformance with the NFS
specs. According to the RFC, the credentials may contain up to 16
groups, but our NFS/RPC implementation was only accepting 8.
You will find that talking to any pre-7.3 NFS server will have problems
on the RISC/6000, MAC-A/UX, and Ultrix 4.2 machines if you are in more
than 8 groups.
