"connection rejected" is a message the file server prints
in the IL stack.  I believe it has nothing to do with
authentication, but I also don't know what the criteria
are for rejection.

You can test connectivity using aux/9pcon:

	cpu% aux/9pcon -n tcp!web.mit.edu!9fs
	aux/9pcon: dial: connection refused
	cpu%

If it does connect (which I doubt), you can try starting
a 9P session:

	cpu% aux/9pcon -n tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs
	Tversion 8192 9P2000
		-> Tversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000'
		<- Rversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000'
	Tattach 1 -1 rsc ''
		-> Tattach tag 3 fid 1 afid -1 uname rsc aname
		<- Rattach tag 3 qid (0000000000000002 0 d)
	cpu%

9pcon has no prompt; I typed the Tversion and Tattach lines.
Your server will probably reply to the Tattach with an Rerror;
sources is special.
