without looking at the script you are running, 
"rc: null list in concatenation" means that you 
are glomming something onto a null list (probablly
and undefined variable). for example

; echo ()^x
rc: null list in concatenation
; echo $bar^x
rc: null list in concatenation
; echo x$bar	# free caret
rc: null list in concatenation

interestingly, byron's rc allows null-list concatination

; echo ()^fu
fu

I went 100% by the manual on how to setup a standalone authentication
server. I spent the whole night searching through the archives. All I
get is:
    rc: null list in concatenation
What can I possibly be doing wrong??
I do have afew unclear spots in the manual.
1) do I  do disk/kfscmd 'create  etc......." for bootes ( because I did)

2) should this be done on the first start up (boot up ) of plan as
Glenda?
3) should I set up the network first then reboot as Glenda again to set
up auth?
4) is it :
    facedom=FACEDOM
for (i in '#m' '#i' '#s' '#t' )                        also is it ' or `

             bind -a $i /dev ./dev/null >[2]/dev/null
5) exactly where do I put:
auth=authserver
ntp=ntpserver
is it in /lib/ndb or /lib//ndb/local?

6) I can't remove authsrv.il566 or authsrv.tcp567 cause I don't have em
in my /rc/bin/service.auth
7) when do I exactly set bootes password?
8) Do I have to do this in order for me to beable to work / telnet/ ftp
into the Plan 9 box from a linux box ( I got the plan 9 box in the
basement and everyday use pc so happens to be upstairs, I get tired
going up and down LoL)
Thanks in advance!!
