Subject: [9fans] Building a cpu/auth server
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 97896814-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025


I decided to give up on the goofy "terminal as auth server" config, and =
I
built a cpu/auth server last night for the first time.  I ran into one =
small
detail that's not addressed in the wiki.  As suggested, I decided to try =
to
build a kernel based on pcauth, but with a different name:

cp pcauth pcautha
acme apautha
mk 'CONF=3Dpcautha'

This didn't work for me - I got some kind of error like "Mk: don't know =
how
to make XXXX.out file".  I ended up backing up the pcauth file, and =
using a
modified pcauth instead, and it worked fine.  From looking at the =
mkfile, it
looks like there are a set of special names that work as 'CONF=3DXX"?

I'm still debugging my auth configuration, but all-in-all it went really
smoothly.  I was amazed at how fast the kernel built on my crummy
PentiumI-200.

I might have to figure out how to edit the wiki now :)

Thanks,
-Frank
