[9fans] detecting drawterm

[9fans] detecting drawterm

[roger peppe]

i'm probably being stupid here, but what's a good robust way
of detecting in $home/lib/profile that the remote connection
is from drawterm, so that i can start rio etc?

currently the best i've got is to check /mnt/term/sysname,
but that falls down the moment i connect from a different host...

Drawterm connects with service=cpu

In the cpu clause I do this:

 	if (! test -e /mnt/term/mnt/wsys) {	# dt2k
		# cpu call from drawterm
		if (test -e /mnt/term/dev/secstore){
			auth/factotum -n
			cat /mnt/term/dev/secstore | read -m > /mnt/factotum/ctl
			echo > /mnt/term/dev/secstore
		}
		if not {			# old drawterm
			auth/factotum
		}
		webfs
		plumber
		webcookies
		upas/fs
		exec rio -s -i startup
	}

note the secstore device created by drawterm which I push into
my new factotum and then clean out (just in case).

/mnt/term/dev/hostdomain?

AFAIK it's always drawterm.net.

that's useful, thanks.
i hadn't noticed the (apparently undocumented) secstore device.
