likewise.
Inferno has factotum it seems but it doesn't behave the same way I'd
expect. In fact the man pages suggest that the factotum that is there
works with plan 9 but it has it's own "/mnt/factotum" complete with
the "ctl" file.... so maybe it's more complete than the documentation
implies.
I'll bug Charles about it.

i'd left that version in just for testing; now both factotum(4) and factotum(2)
have changed to reflect its existence. of course, you haven't been able to see that
because i didn't do a distribution pack in august or september, mainly because
i was trying to get a few more things ready for distribution, on and off
(including the new update scheme).

Ah, so is it true then that mount -9 requires a plan 9 factotum? If
not then I'd say the man pages are a bit outdated. auth/feedkey seems
to be pretty neat though :-)

It's actually pretty straightforward if you have a Plan 9 Ports
environment installed and Lucho's amount program. There was some talk
about getting it added into the plan9port collective, but also some
concern as it is pretty Linux specific at this point. Comments Russ?
I'd like to get a more-pure Linux auth infrastructure in place -- at
the very least being able to host auth servers under Linux, either
using Plan 9 ports or by porting them (IIRC: there were some unix auth
tools, but maybe I'm just thinking of netkey). There's also the
option of trying for a Kerberos or SASL auth mechanism for Linux-only
environments. This stuff just hasn't been a priority for me because
its not a concern in my environment, but its something we clearly need
a better story on.

Yeah, auth would be cool, but I don't need it for what I'm planning to
do with v9fs either.

My fixes earlier where on the client side. The current bug is about
the server side (srv.py) not playing nicely when it gets an unexpected
version (and then later again when its doing auth, I believe).
Fix #1 - change _srvTversion to not error out if the version
does not match. It should instead return its own version.
Fix #2 - Not sure, but the code in the write() method of AuthFs
likely needs to be less restrictive.
If someone tweaks this and tests it please let me know the fix.
(I dont have v9fs installed anywhere).
