Aha!  Factotum uses ndb (the library, not the program)
to map from auth domain to auth server.  If it can't find
a mapping, it tries to use the auth domain as a machine
name directly.  Unless your auth server's machine name
is ca.sandia.gov, you need to edit $PLAN9/ndb/local to
add an entry:

	authdom=ca.sandia.gov
		auth=your-auth-server.sandia.gov

There are examples in that file already.

Too many examples.

Sadly, it appears that my own local changes (entries
for cs.bell-labs.com and pdos.csail.mit.edu, and a
reference to a non-existant file=cox-home) leaked
into the distribution.  I've removed them (no real harm
done), but perhaps the entry for cs.bell-labs.com was
no longer correct, which would explain your other problem.
