   The following command seems to fail...

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

Errr..... on odie, where I think you tried this....

% attach -d odie:site
odie:site resolves to:
xxx
Locking attachtab....Setting lock on /tmp/attach_odie:site: 5
Unlocking attachtab
Processing line xxx
Badly formatted filesystem definition
Operation aborted
Locking attachtab....Removing lock on /tmp/attach_odie:site
Unlocking attachtab


   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...

Try this:

noallow  {+}.*

or

noallow  {+nfs,rvd}.*

which will disable explicit nfs and rvd attaches, but allow others.

Again, all will be explained in the (gradually coalescing) man pages.
