[9fans] Problems with the authentication

[Henner]

Hello again!

Since three week-ends I try to make an authentication server
from my vanilla-3 disc system Plan9 PC, but without success.

I've set-up my file-server, copied the CD-ROM contents to it
and did everything as described in the installation instructions.
The trouble began when I selected
	4. Make this PC a CPU or Authentication Server

I'm able to install the 9pccpu-kernel and to set the authID's
password. Even the re-boot of the CPU-server works fine, but
after I was asked for the authentication server's IP-address
the kernel panics and writes

	boot: #c/hostowner: bad arg in system call
        panic: boot process died: unknown

on the screen.

I know, that other Plan9-users have had the same problem, but
unfortunately I wasn't able to find a hint in my 9fans-archive
that solves the problem. The only thing I haven't done so far
is to apply the patches. Will this solve my problem, or
did I something wrong during the installation?

Please help me!

Thank you very much in advance.

Bye,

	Henner
