Subject: [9fans] some thoughts about auth*
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 03:25:33 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021107032533.A30255@unicorn.math.spbu.ru> (raw)
1. Isn't it strange that getauthkey.c:getauthkey actually
returns .machkey ? Is there any historical reason for
it to be getauthkey() especially when there is a
field in Nvrsafe called .authkey ?
2. I'm not exactly sure that I understand why Nvrsafe has
this .authkey member in it. The only place where it is
being used by the regular Plan9, not a dedicated Plan9
FS is in cmd/disk/kfs/auth.c which doesn't seem to make
much sense, when nobody sets it up.
As a matter of fact, I was able to spot it, only because
in my particular case auth/wrkey *always* sets it to
'roman' which is honorable, but very weird :)
All in all, I'd be grateful for any insights or explanations.
Thanks in advance,
Roman.
