(guessing) I think you need a new "mount" and "9fs" which support the -n parameter (noauth).
Maybe you installed using an old iso?
I found the same problem when I installed plan9 the last days... I
downloaded the newer 386 mount binary, and I could manually mount
sources. Using /n/sources I copied the newer 9fs script, and I think
then everything worked fine. I don't remember copying a new pull script
or so.
I'd like to read a few explanation about the introduction of noauth,
and why it wasn't there before. I've not found it in the 9fans list
archives. Maybe someone can clarify? Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry, I'm sure this is already very clearly documented somewhere. I'm a newbie and having a little trouble getting started.
I created a user and have the network up.
When I try to do 'pull' I'm asked for authentication (user/password).
When searching I've seen things like, "9p read factotum/ctl" -- just assuming I'm supposed to type that in as written to read about how to authenticate for 'pull' but it doesn't work -- neither for me nor glenda.
Sorry to be asking such a rudimentary question,
Eric
