Let's try this again.  It didn't seem to get out before.

Truely tempting.

Well, I was going to repeat all the stuff I had tried to send before,
but suddenly things are working for drawterm.  The last step was
to invalidate the nvram, reboot and reset all the passwords.  I'm
not sure how things got mangled, but drawterm is now working.
replica/pull still isn't however.  I definitely have the auth=sources
line in /lib/ndb/local now.  But even before factotum asks for
a user and password, I'm getting:

srv tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com: mount failed: authentication failed

I get the same thing if I manually try to 9fs soruces.  Any ideas on
that one?

Thanks to everyone for your help.  The really frustrating part of
all of the authentication stuff is that I don't seem to yet see
the connections between fault symptoms and causes.  I still don't
know why wiping the nvram and resetting everything has made drawterm
happy.
