I'm sending this from my machine. The output of ndb/ipquery sys csplan9 auth is
auth=csplan9.rit.edu

Running auth/debug gives me the following:
p9sk1 key: proto=p9sk1 user=bootes dom=rit.edu !hex? !password?
	successfully dialed auth server
	password for bootes@rit.edu [hit enter to skip test]: 
	ticket request using bootes@rit.edu key succeeded
	cpu server owner for domain rit.edu [bootes]: 
	password for bootes@rit.edu [hit enter to skip test]: 
	ticket request using bootes@rit.edu key succeeded
