>>Heh; Authserver needs to be told it's an authserver?

the applications that authenticate dial the authenticator.
auth= says where to find it.  it's possible to put the auth=
entry in /lib/ndb/local only at net or subnet level, but
that didn't work when Jim tried it (probably because the
net/subnet entries aren't quite right, but i'll look at them closely later).

	proto=il
and
	proto=fil
are the only effective ones.  they tell ndb/cs to allow the use of
the il (fil) protocol (and associated services) when net! is used to dial a
host that declares them.  otherwise it limits the choice to standard ip protocols.
i'd be impressed if you could make use of proto=fil,
so proto=il is the only one you need.  in effect, it marks machines
that can use the plan9-specific protocols.
