hi,

i am struggling to bring up some services in my auth/cpu/fs server.

i have booted my machine with 9pcauth kernel.

now here are my problems:

- i tried telnet. it gets username and then comes back
saying 'authentication failure:auth server protocol botch'

- i tried ftp. it gets username and comes back saying
'421 auth server protocol botch' and fails.

- i tried ssh from a windows machine. it asks for password and after
sometime it again asks for password (looks like it fails to do ssh). i
tried ssh from the server machine to itself ('ssh vdharani@192.168.1.50'
from 192.168.1.50 itself). it comes back saying 'ssh: client
authentication failed'.

i tried various combinations from auth/ssh_genkey to auth/rsagen. somehow
i am missing something.

in the meanwhile, in /rc/bin/cpurc, I added ip addresses for fs and auth
in ipconfig line. when i did 'cat /net/ndb' i saw only fs entry taken
(auth didnt showup). i manually added it (using 'cat > /net/ndb').

the wiki pages gives some description on ssh configuration but the top
line says something like 'the commands are not valid anymore'. i am not
able to get the proper sequence for ssh configuration. in particular, if =
i
need to do ssh to the same machine, what should i do? can someone briefly
explain what all i should do? also, do i have to start auth/sshserve
manually? (btw, i noticed that if i enter just 'sshserve' it displays the
usage line continuously)

given that ftp server and telnet also dont work, i am also wondering if
something else is wrong. since i dont see any useful messages thrown, i
have no clue at this time.

any help appreciated.

thanks
dharani
