Subject: [9fans] bootes and factotum and pull?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: d90ae538-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

Hi,

a bit of a beginners question.

In order to do a pull when logged onto my cpu/auth/venti/fossil server
as bootes, I need to connect to sources.cs.bell-labs.com (via
servermount() in the replica dist script).  If I do that from a plain
bootes login on my server, I get a failure to set up the connection,
as I do not have the authentication details.  Factotum does not ask
for anything, as it is running in server mode.

Is the proper way to deal with this to have bootes start its own
factotum from its profile?

Thanks,
Robby
