The file server means fossil alone? Or does it include ken fs and/or kfs? Could you give me any pointers to the source where this separation occurs? > You need to add a factotum key for the file server. Supposing the following case, what key should I add to which factoum? Now a fileserver (fossil) has one (and only one) key: user=sauron dom=tip9ug.jp and a diskless cpu server which boots from the fileserver has the two keys respectively in their factotums: user=sauron dom=tip9ug.jp user=grid dom=9grid.jp Now, one can login to the cpu server using either of the following keys: user=nashi dom=9grid.jp user=nashi dom=tip9ug.jp However, one can't login with the "user=grid dom=9grid.jp" key. Using this key, cpu just finishes without any error message; term% cpu -h cpuserver term% <-- cpu just exits except the "prompt: attach main as grid: unknown user 'grid'" on the fossil console. The only difference between nashi and grid is that nashi is registered to the fossil while grid is not. --
