Actually I wasn't able to understand when the afid was supposed to be clunk reading attach 5.
I was in doubt that the afid had to be the last fid clunked.

size[4] Tattach tag[2] fid[4] afid[4] uname[s] aname[s]
size[4] Rattach tag[2] qid[13]
you have to provide the afid in the Tattach, so clunking it before
attach makes no sense. you can pass NOFID to Tattach when when the
fileserver doesnt support authentification.
you can also reuse the afid, so keeping it arround after Tattach
works just fine.
if you only want todo a single attach, you can clunk it after the
Tattach.
its all documented and better worded in attach(5).
