The current authentication mechanism on sources prompts for:
dom=insideout.cs.bell-labs.com
instead of the usual:
dom=outside.cs.bell-labs.com
I suspect this is done on purpose, to disable external pulls until the
zero-length file problem reported by Presotto yesterday is fixed.
However this doesn't stop everybody from logging in to sources --
I can do it by having the keys in factotum beforehand (i.e. only when
I'm prompted for password can I _not_ log in), it is also possible to
do it by augmenting /lib/ndb/local to reflect the change.
If we see a barrage of "I can't get to sources" messages on Monday we'll
know Plan 9 is alive and kicking :)

actually, its a `we fucked up' problem. It should just be doing outside.cs.bell-labs.com.

This is a bug left over from fixing things yesterday.
Should be all set now.
