When I boot from my new pcauth kernel, I cannot use ssh.

When I try to ssh from Plan 9 to Linux, the same connection that
previously worked now gives "ssh: client authentication failed"

In the wiki, there is a reference to copying
$home/lib/$user.secret.factotum to /mnt/factotum/ctl.  What is this
for ?  Is it for ssh'ing to the Plan 9 machine, or do I have to do it
?  I did it as user bootes and ssh still didn't work, and I did it as
another user and got a permission denied.

I can ssh just fine if I boot from the old pcdisk kernel.

I see no messages in the logs on the receiving side of the ssh.
However, if I connect to a non-existent or non-responding machine, the
ssh just times out, it doesn't give the error; and sniffing the
connection reveals some traffic does go between the computers when I
attempt and get the "ssh: client authenticaion failed" error.
