Subject: [9fans] drawterm/telnet authentication

Hi,

I have a cpu/auth server and I'm trying to get drawterm working.  I 
have the dreaded "cannot authenticate with p9" problem when I use the 
correct password for my bootes user.  Also, telnet with the correct 
response gives the protocol botch message.

auth/debug seems fine.  I ran factotum in debug mode and got the 
following transaction during a drawterm connection:

2: start proto=p9sk2 role=server yields phase SHaveTreq: ok
2: read 141 in phase SHaveTreq yields phase SNeedTicket: ok
2: read 4093 in phase SNeedTicket yields phase SNeedTicket: toosmall 
85
2: failure auth server protocol botch
2: write 85 in phase SNeedTicket yields phase SNeedTicket: failure 
auth server protocol botch

also...

cat /mnt/factotum/ctl
key proto=p9sk1 user=bootes dom=mynetwork !hex? !password?

Thanks for any help - I checked back through the archives before 
posting, and tried a few other things, to no avail.  I'm sure it's 
something simple...

Thanks,
-Frank
