[9fans] telnet/auth question

[Will]

In telneting (or con'ing) into a my plan-9 auth server from unix, I
get the securenet challenge/response thing. This seems to match the
securenet man page. I also get the challenge/response prompts when I
attempt to telnet in from a plan-9 machine. Is this correct?

Somewhat related: cpu and auth/login work fine and give the plan-9
authorization prompts as expected.

Thanks to all,

and to the person who asked why use plan-9: Don't ever stop learning
new things. It keeps life much more interesting.

yes, that's correct.

That's correct, we're paranoids.  You can run netkey to encrypt
the challenge and send then type that in.  For a Unix netkey
look at the plan9 /sys/src/cmd/unix/netkey directory.

It looks fine.
You have netkey binaries for linux windows and palm OS. They're nice
to telnet from remote systems. Use google to locate them (I think they're
at forsyth's site but I'm not sure).

dave means /sys/src/cmd/unix/netkey.c,
which i just created.

http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~rsc/netkey.c
has an exportable version by kenji arisawa (it links against bsd
des routines),
http://www.caldo.demon.co.uk/plan9/soft/netkey.html
has some precompiled binaries, and
http://www.cotswold.demon.co.uk/dist/netkey/
has a tweak of kenji's routines to use openssl.
