Geoff was kind enough to provide to me a contrib directory on sources, so I'm now trying to write into it.
I can't seem to get the hang of the authorization, connection, and mount steps necessary for an authorized mount of sources in plan9port, so I can just copy files into my contrib directory. Over several dozen attempts to understand factotum, it never saves any actual data for me, so I apparently have some serious misunderstandings. For the mount, I can use the following to mount sources read-only, but I can't save anything into it. sudo 9mount 'tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com' /n/sources 9fs sources also doesn't seem to provide an authenticated connection, or a mount. Would someone be kind enough to chant the few magic plan9(port) incantations with which I can store my sources-server username and password with factotum, connect to sources, and mount sources (specifically, my directory) as a writable filesystem? I promise diligent study, to understand what the commands do. Jason Catena
