Subject: CPU authentication...
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 1996 20:45:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19960326014508.Xbg5XKu9JnHYrDTl_HlYHBpaL92E1WlyQHXOqKJYJ6M@z> (raw)
I've gotten three machines running... a cpu, a terminal and a fileserver.
Its obvious that the cpu server and the fileserver are talking to each...
I installed the CDROM over the net to the fileserver.
The terminal boots up and when I enter username and password, it connects
to the fileserver.
This is major progress over a week ago.
Here's a few questions:
1. Is it necessary to set the ipauth variable on the file server?
Or does it suffice for it to be 0.0.0.0?
2. When I do a cpu command - I get the error
cpu: can't authenticate: huygens: refused by server
(huygens is the cpu server)
I've fixed the errata with il=ticket service missing from /lib/ndb/local.
That doesn't seem to fix it.
I'm slightly confused here... doesn't the fact that I have booted my
terminal and connected to my home directory mean that I have been
authenticated?
I notice also that /dev/hostdomain is empty when I boot the terminal.
I'm also slightly confused about how the domains work.
The default setup on the cpu server sets up /lib/ndb/local as having
sysname=9auth, but dom=auth.$(DOMAINNAME)
Are the supposed to be the same?
I've gotten the terminal to bootp off of the cpu server, but it still insists
on asking me whether I'd like to boot off of [il,9600] etc.
The cpu server comes up with
boot: can't read nvram: unknown device in # filename
boot: bad nvram key:
It then comes out and asks for the password... I provide the password
(The same as the server) - it prompts for the authid, and the domain
I provide it. - And it seems to work.
It then prompts:
boot: can't write key to nvram: fd out of range or not open.
The file server says that it allocated a channel, at least that is
what I'm interpreting the message on the file server as.
Any comments as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. Any
clarifications are helpful.
I've modified cpurc to appropriatedly deal with the name huygens.
What is the meaning of the phrase
"Later, when everything seems solid, you should convert the
CPU/authentication server to boot from local disk. It will then be
able to server Plan9 BOOTP request." (Docs, p. 459)
I apologize for the bandwidth usage - but I figure after I've spent 10 hours
or so trying all the different things I can and looking through all the
manuals - then its worth a question or two
