Hi

I'm making small progress with my plan9 work and have come across 2
hurdles.

I have an account, but when I try and set a password with passwd, I get
this:
passwd: protocol botch: cs: can't translate address

and when I run auth/iam I get this:
auth/iam: open key

Sometimes, when checking network connectivity for instance, I run a
command that prints to the screen [ip/ping]. On a UN*X system, I would
type ^C or ^D to stop the output. On my plan9 system this only prints an
explanatory character. Is there something I can set/do to send a kill
signal to this process [aside from getting a process listing and sending
a kill signal to that process].

And for a bonus, what pagers are available?

I've been looking through the wiki and not finding this stuff. If I just
need to look harder, let me know.
