Re: [9fans] Trouble connecting to and/or bringing up auth server

Yes, and I have made a bit of progress, but some things remain
unclear. One thing I had missed was setting authdom in /lib/ndb/local
on each machine. The current situation is:

Reboot the cpu/auth server.

Reboot the terminal. During the reboot, when prompted for a user name,
any will do; it just trips up on not having directories, etc. if you
give it user that hasn't had the disk/kfscmd 'newuser ...' run on it.
It doesn't seem in touch with the auth server. Does that sound right?
Should it be?

Once the terminal is up, auth/login and telnet (to the cpu machine)
will fail giving a message that seems to indicate that it doesn't know
the auth domain and is doesn't have a key (I don't have the text
(sorry) at the moment, and I've got to actullay get to work here).
Should, in fact, auth/login and telnet work at this point?

Next, trying the cpu command at this point will elicit a little
message about adding a key or something and fail with the message I
wrote in my first posting.

Then, lo and behold, if I try auth/login or telnet they work!

And after a successful auth/login, the cpu command works! So, does one
have to auth/login before cpu will work in all cases?

I don't quite get the relationship between the commands and need to do
some more reading.
