Hi, In order to construct an authenticated mount of sources, you will need to start factotum, use srv -a to create an auth-ed connection to the server and to "post" it, and to mount the "posted" connection.
(assuming you have a working plan9port install and are on a unix): $ 9 factotum (start factotum in the current 'namespace'. p9p's current namespace is the value of the NAMESPACE environmental variable). $ srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com (I am prompted for my userid and password on the server) user[venkatesh]: <my sources username> [mount step; I use v9fs.You will have to adapt if you're using 9pfuse or 9mount] $ sudo mount -t 9p $NAMESPACE/sources.cs.bell-labs.com <mountpath> -o trans=unix Good luck, -- vs
