   You install script blew away my modified /etc/attach.conf. You should
   probably do what update scripts do by moving /etc/attach.conf to
   /etc/attach.conf.old (if one existed before) and let the user know about
   it.

If an /etc/attach.conf exists, it won't modify it all.  This may
actually be a problem, since the old attach.conf had some setups that
might potentially confuse someone; the new attach.conf is a bit better.
