Re: [9fans] mysterious auth

[Skip Tavakkolian <9nut@9netics.com>]

in case anyone's wondering, my problem was due to the fact that keyfs
was started after aux/listen for trusted services; /mnt/keys/* wasn't
in authsrv's namespace.  in my case, i put the trusted services in
/cfg/bootes/cpurc, while keyfs was started later in the sequence of
/rc/bin/cpurc.

the default config in the distro CD could lead others to do the
same.  given that only auth needs to run keyfs and trusted services,
it would be better to create a /cfg/example.auth/cpurc that includes
keyfs and trusted services in it and remove them from /rc/bin/cpurc,
since they come after /cfg/$sysname/cpurc is run.
