Re: [9fans] Authenticated SMTPD or factotum's p9cr

> Hm, /rc/bin/service/tcp25 runs as "none" and where as it can read the certificate *that's easy), but I could have sworn it could not access the "eve" factotum (I use "proxima" as a replacement for "bootes", I have a feeling there are namespace issues that Bell Labs ought to take into consideration - but that's just a shot in the dark).  I fixed it initially by running factotum within tcp25 and adding the essential keys to it, which improved things, but left me with the "protocol botch".  My problem is that I cannot identify the casue of the botch (factotum's diagnostics - here's me looking a gift horse in the mouth - are no adequate) and that is where everything sticks.  I don't want to mess with the factotum code unless it becomes essential, but I guess it's one route to identify the problem.

i believe one needs to run services that need to talk to factotum
from service.auth.  i don't run smtp with authentication, but i 
do run ssh.  ssh needed it's key in factotum and to be run from
service.auth.
