Subject: [9fans] Using Inferno factotum with Plan 9
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 1f7cef88-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi,

I have a server running Inferno, exporting its namespace and playing the
full Inferno authentication game. I'd like to be able to mount this
under Plan 9.

Would it be possible for me to run an Inferno locally, mount its
factotum at /mnt/factotum on the Plan 9 host, make sure that the Inferno
factotum has an appropriate key (from authcvt), and use the Plan 9
mount?

Is there any way for an better way for me to be able to have
authenticated connections between an Inferno instance and a Plan 9
terminal? Any chance of Plan 9's factotum learning how to speak infauth?

Thanks,
