Hi,

 I attempted once more to set up a CPU server from the instructions in
the wiki and ended up with the same problem. Everything goes as planned
until I reboot with the CPU kernel. I used glenda (which I
double-checked was in group sys) and made sure to keep track of the keys
I used. Yet, when I reboot (after resetting the nvram), I cannot write
to /adm/keys.who, and thus auth/changeuser fails for any user, including
bootes. So, I can't add anyone to the auth server, and of course cannot
login.

 I set options -AWP on my fossil and of course that worked. But the
current instructions do not mention this (and I didn't quite get what
was meant in the discussions from Feb. or so when this was removed from
the wiki). Drawterm works fine at this point.
But when I remove -AWP, it once again cannot read /adm/keys
and /adm/keys.who, so drawterm and auth/changeuser both fail.

 So--what should I do next?

Thanks.
-Claudio

i'm not sure i know exactly what your problem is.  (where are you running 
auth/changeuser and as whom?  also which user is eve on your cpu server?)

however, have you checked the owner and permissions on these files?
fossilcons(8) should have instructions on forcing owners and permissions.
the fileserver i am currently using has these permissions:

--rw-rw---- M 9 mach0 adm 2125 Dec 18 08:13 /adm/keys
--rw-rw---- M 9 mach0 adm 1539 Dec 18 08:14 /adm/keys.who

where mach0 is eve.

hopefully this helps.

eve on your cpu servers needs to be in the adm group.
