The following command seems to fail...

    187% attach odie:site
    Badly formatted filesystem definition
    Operation aborted

Here is my configuration file...

    #
    # Attach configuration file
    #
    verbose on
    ownercheck on
    #nfs-mount-dir /@
    #nfs-root-hack off
    keep-mount on
    nosuid
    trusted probe epeisach
    attachtab /usr/tmp/attachtab
    aklog /afs/testers.mit.edu/maint/aklog
    noallow {nfs}:games ^sipb$ ^watchmaker$ ^discuss$ ^marc$ odie
    nomountpoint	^/etc ^/
    mountpoint	^/mit ^/mnt

    options {nfs}:.*	rsize=1024,wsize=1024


However, it seems that the following commands appear to work properly:

    attach paris:u3
    attach -e odie:/site


There is also one more thing I would like to add to the wish-list -- add
a "noexplicit" option to the configuration file to disallow -e
specifications.  For instance, I can probably fool the system by using
an IP address or one of its many cnames...
