Again, Inferno can use a Plan 9 auth server, but it doesn't (to my
knowledge) provide a server which can provide the Plan 9 auth service.
It does provide its own auth services, but I've never attempted to
use factotum to authenticate against Inferno auth, so I'm not sure how
useful that would be from p9p.
There was some work to provide Plan 9 Auth services under UNIX that I
tried to help with (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1400101),
but to my knowledge it remains incomplete.
