I have fixed the problem with logging in from a drawterm to my
cpu/auth/file server.  Based on a suggestion by Russ Cox, I
changed the bootes password.  I first set the bootes password
and secstore key to the same value.  I was still unable to log
in as kim and when I tried to log in as bootes, it complained
that I had typed in an incorrect password.  After staring at
the notes I had taken during the initial installation, I saw
that the first time a ran auth/keyfs, I got the following
output:

    term% auth/keyfs
    bad nvram key
    bad authentication id
    bad authentication domain
    can't read /dev/key, please enter machine key
    Password: some_long_password
    Confirm password: some_long_password
    term%

This password was different than the one I was originally
using for bootes's secstore key and password.  I have now
set the secstore key and the password to some_long_password.

After rebooting the cpu/auth/file server, I can log in both
as bootes and as kim from a drawterm.  I am going to leave
things alone with regard to configuration until I get a
little more familiar with Plan 9.

I really appreciate all the help I received from this list.

Kim
