[9fans] authentication, factotum and p9p

[Ingo Krabbe]

Good Morning,

I have a running cpu/file server (legacy plan9 with venti backed fossil) and a plan9 terminal through qemu in my linux laptop and I want to mount the 9p filesystem from the cpu/file server with linux now.

The 9p2000 protocol itself should be simple, but authentication might be a problem.

When I try

	# 9 9pfuse -D CPU-ADDR MNTPT

I get

	<- Tversion tag 0 msize 8192 version '9P2000'
	-> Rversion tag 65535 msize 8192 version '9P2000'
	<- Tattach tag 0 fid 0 afid -1 uname ingo aname
	-> Rerror tag 0 ename cannot attach as none before authentication
	9pfuse: fsmount: cannot attach as none before authentication

So how can I tell 9pfuse about the authentication tokens it needs.

Any ideas?

regards
ingo

You have to authenticate using srv, before calling 9pfuse. For example:

% echo 'auth=andromeda.9grid.fr authdom=9grid.fr' >> $PLAN9/ndb/local
% factotum -n
% srv -a andromeda.9grid.fr
% 9pfuse `namespace`/andromeda.9grid.fr /n/andromeda
