The pcauth kernel config can be used
without any modifications to run a standalone
cpu/auth server.  The section

misc
	kfs.root
	factotum.root

has been replaced by the bootdir section
described in past emails to 9fans.

I have updated the wiki.

Is ther any way to make '-n' (for using netkey auth) option
on drawterm work? Drawterm now works straight UNIX style login

	drawterm -a authsrv-addr -c cpusrv-addr

I have no idea what's going on.
I think you're on your own for debugging it.

Things to try include using netkey auth
with the Plan 9 cpu command and reading
the log on the auth server for activity.

... if by UNIX style you mean that there is a password
prompt.  Otherwise it's nothing like UNIX.  The password
does NOT go over the wire.  It never leaves the drawterm
process.

I assume you mean it does not work?  What goes wrong
when you type

	drawterm -c cpusrv-addr -n

?

(You can include the -a authsrv-addr, but it's ignored with -n.)

[Ish Rattan]

Context is Wiki-page on standalone cpu/auth server..

It says to add in misc section of

/sys/src/9/pc/pcauth, entries

	kfs.root
	factotum.root

After adding this command

mk 'CONF=pcauth' stops with error

mk: no recipe to make 'kfs.root' in directory /sys/src/9/pc

but if NOT added a 9pcauth kernel is generated.

Any ponters on kfs.root etc.?

pccpu 'out of the box' expects the FS to come from a remote file
server. Try:
	boot cpu #S/sdC0/
		il
		local
for either a remote or local boot.

i misspoke.  cpu doesn't use tls.  it uses ssl,
which pcauth already has.  never mind.

Re: [9fans] Standalone cpu/auth server..

[rsc]

The 'pccpudisk' kernel configuration file appears
to have fallen out of the distribution.  You used pccpu.
Use 'pcauth' instead, although note that you need to
add the tls driver:

dev
	root
	cons
	arch
	pnp		pci
	env
	pipe
	proc
	mnt
	srv
	dup
	rtc
	ssl
>>	tls
	cap
	kprof

After making the changes listed on wiki page and rebooting, the box
prompts for root etc.

 root is from (il)[il]:
 filesystem IP address[no default]:

It looks like /sys/src/9/pc/pccpu has to be changed. What changes
are needed?
