Thanks for the patch. This helped and what I wanted (with secstore)
now works. Still I dare have a few remaining questions:

When I now run factotum, I get:

;factotum
redstar Dec  9 15:08:15 secstore from ?!?
secstore password:
redstar Dec  9 15:08:18 secstore from ?!?
redstar Dec  9 15:08:52 AUTH ruda
redstar Dec  9 15:08:52 [ruda] GET factotum

redstar Dec  9 15:08:52 [ruda] BYE

which is ok, but there still is a few-second-long delay (say 10 sec)
between me entering the password and the response (initially I thought
the thing had hung again). So
1/ Why is there the delay?
2/ What does the 'secstore from ?!?' message want to convey?

Finally,
3/ I've created an empty $PLAN9/ndb/auth file in order to get rid of the
'no ndb/auth' message, which used to appear when trying to run the
'sectore' command. What is this all about?

Thanks again for the working patch and for any potential answer to my
questions!
