It took a lot of digging to discover a very simple key concept:
factotum needs a /lib/ndb entry to determine the authentication server
associated with a particular authentication domain.  I have just
rebuilt my Plan 9 network after a serious disk failure and that turned
out to be the missing piece I had overlooked.

I have tested upas/smtpd against upas/smtp as well as a slightly dated
version of Outlook Express.  Takes some getting used to, but it does
work.  I do suspect that it does not override the "norelay"
restrictions, so I'm not altogether done, but in the main I can thank
the factotum/upas team(s) for a job well done.

A small change to a failure() call in factotum/p9cr.c code would
have made my quest shorter.  I will submit it as a patch as soon as I
have removed all the debugging code from the various modules.
