Subject: [9fans] factotum.hack -> factotum and ... no more CMOS as nvram
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2003 22:17:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0311032210060.28164-100000@maxroach.lanl.gov> (raw)
OK, on the older kernel I built for the geodes, I got it to the point that
I could use #r/nvram (i.e. CMOS) as the nvram for the key. On the newer
kernels, I can't get this to work. I've checked the data in CMOS (a.k.a.
nvram) and it is correct - - checksum is right, data is right, etc.
But I keep getting this 'bad authentication id' message. It's as though
the factotum is not looking the desired nvram, or not reading it
correctly. I have hardwired these variables in the kernel:
nvram is #r/nvram
nvroff is 0
nvrlen is 112
One thing that has changed is that the line:
factotum.hack factotum
in my old pccpu has changed to:
/386/bin/auth/factotum factotum
in the new pccpu. Could this have any bearing on my problem? What was
factotum.hack?
Is there some other nvram or other variable I should set? Will factotum
pick up these environment variables and "do the right thing", or is
something else needed?
thanks
ron
