Once again I have to admit I don't really understand plan9 authentication,
can anyone help?
I want to use p9sk1 authentication to a u9fs server on a mac. I have set
up the server OK (launchd etc), but I cannot get the authentication to work.
I want to have a seperate password for the mac - I don't want to have to keep
bootes cleartext password on the mac (even if it is readable only by root). I
am not even sure if this is possible, however this is what I tried.
What I tried was to do was to create a plan9 account (powerbook) specifically
for my mac.
on the host 'mac' /etc/u9fs.keys contains:
macpassword
powerbook
plan9.authentication.dom
I used auth/secuser to set the password for powerbook to macpassword on the auth
server's console.
then I try to connect to it using:
% srv -s mac mac
post...
% mount -k 'user=powerbook' /srv/mac /n/mac
# fgui un-hides here and I enter the password
mount: auth_proxy: auth_proxy write fd: protocol botch
mount: mount /n/mac: authentication failed
anyone any ideas?
Thanks, Steve
