[OpenAFS] Re: [Slightly OT] changing UID of a user to 1

[Neulinger, Nathan]

touch /vicepX/AlwaysAttach

I believe /vicepX can be a symlink to any directory or an actual
directory. AlwaysAttach will cause it to be added as a vice partition
even if it's not an actual mount point.

I'm not sure why this shouldn't just be the default behavior, with an
option for 'DontAttach' to keep it from attaching a particular
dir/partition.
