The client calls the auth server.  If there isn't anything in
/sys/log/auth then the client isn't even trying the auth server.
It seems like the auth server doesn't know where the auth server
is, so to speak.

On the auth server, do

% ndb/csquery
> net!$auth!ticket

If there isn't a translation, that's the problem.  There are two
places you can specify the auth server, /net/ndb (plan 9 DHCP supplies
it) or in /lib/ndb/local.  Look for 'auth='.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting my newly installed file server to
work with my Auth server.  I've installed everything from scratch and
have a stand-alone auth server, a stand-alone terminal, and a file
server.  Everything seems to be happy-happy except when I go to mount
the file server from the auth-server I get an authentication error.
There doesn't seem to be anything useful in /sys/log/auth about it (or
in any of the other logs).  Is there any way I sanity check the auth
server configuration on the file server or get more verbose debugging
about where things are breaking down?
