My login scripts fail when I try to log in on snorklewacker.mit.edu, a
SIPB i686 Linux box running Red Hat/Athena 5.1. I can trace this back
to a problem with /bin/athena/attach: on Athena 8.2 machines, attach
can be used to add lockers to the current path, and can take
additional options to pass to attach. I generally use an invocation
like
eval `attach -Padd -b sipb -a -n -h`
to run 'attach -n -h sipb', and then add
/mit/sipb/arch/${ATHENA_SYS}/bin to my $PATH. This works on supported
Athena platforms (sun4x_56, sgi_52, sgi_53). On snork, I get the
error message
Usage: attach [options] filesystem [options] filesystem ...
and nothing is added to my path.
