  I am currently exporting /usr/src and /usr/athena/src.  Both are
  exported read-only, since the nfs server doesn't support kerberos, and
  I dont want anyone with half a clue to be able to nuke the source
  trees.

We need a credentials database:

  ; attach -h -n -v -d -r -t nfs -m /mit/sal -e quiche:/usr/athena/src
  quiche:/usr/athena/src resolves to:
  NFS /usr/athena/src quiche r /mit/sal
  
  Locking attachtab....Setting lock on /tmp/attach_quiche:@usr@athena@src: 5
  Unlocking attachtab
  Processing line NFS /usr/athena/src quiche r /mit/sal
  Mountpoint canonicalized as: /mit/sal
  Making directory /mit (sal)
  Making directory /mit/sal ()
  Getting RPC handle for 18.70.0.227
  Adding cache entry with FD = 4
  RPC return status: RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential
  quiche:/usr/athena/src: Authentication failed
  Deleting directory /mit/sal (/mit/sal)
  Locking attachtab....Removing lock on /tmp/attach_quiche:@usr@athena@src
  Unlocking attachtab

I looked around quickly but didn't see mkcred or anything similar
around, but I may have been looking in the wrong place.

  In other news, there are a million one-letter-username accounts on
  Keesh now.  Chad, you started this, I blame you.

I had a reason when I did the first one.  Then Greg Stark did it for
no reason at all.  Then Eric.  Glah; I guess I blame me too.  I just
assumed that the silliness wouldn't continue, and that mine would go
away when we reinstalled, and that would be that.  Oh, well; they can
all go away when we reinstall, right?
