  What I couldn't do was set a password.  Passwd returns "protocol
  botch: cs: can't translate address(net!$auth!ticket)."  I assume
  this is because it is a stand alone system.  The system has a
  NIC that I hope to use for printing &c on my LAN.  Any workaround or
  suggestions?

If you don't want to connect to the system
remotely, don't worry about it -- booting
standalone the password is never used.

If you do want to connect to it remotely,
you'll want to set up a standalone cpu/auth
server.  plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/start.pdf
has some info on that near the end.

Thanks.  I'm confused about these stand-alone-cpu/auth-servers.
Does all this run on one box?  That is, can the auth server run
on the stand alone box?

Because that would seem too natural?  I'ld just run ssh
and was influenced by it.

I changed passwd.c it to make that work instead.  I like it better.

I put a new /386/bin/passwd and /sys/src/cmd/auth/passwd.c on sources.
The old one had a bug.  To set a password on anything other than
your default domain:

	passwd -u <username> <authdomain>

so if your user name is nemo on sources that would be

	passwd -u nemo outside.plan9.bell-labs.com

The connection server doesn't know which auth server to use.  If you have one,
there are a number of ways to proceed.

1) echo -n '	auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> >> /net/ndb'
2) fix your /lib/ndb/local so that it knows what the auth server is for your
  system.  You can do this by 
 a) adding an 'auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> to the network entry for your system
 b) adding an 'auth=<ip-address-of-auth-server> to the network entry for your network

I'ld do 2b if you have multiple systems since it will solve it for all of them.

Snowed in today. About a foot of snow here, 50 mi. north of
NYC...

Managed to  add a real user today.  Struggled through
bin/rc/riostart and so on.  That is a nice fortune file you have
there at bell labs.

What I couldn't do was set a password.  Passwd returns "protocol
botch: cs: can't translate address(net!$auth!ticket)."  I assume
this is because it is a stand alone system.  The system has a
NIC that I hope to use for printing &c on my LAN.  Any workaround or
suggestions?

Thanks
