Re: [9fans] remedial sources auth, connect, and mount in plan9port

[Jason Catena <jason.catena@gmail.com>]

Thank you very much, Venkatesh.  All the commands work (don't fail) as
you gave them.  I still get the same permission-denied error I got
before.  I can see it, but am not allowed to write to it.

$ 9 factotum
$ srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com

!adding key: role=client proto=p9sk1 dom=outside.plan9.bell-labs.com
user[jdc]: catenate
password:
!
$ sudo mount -t 9p
/tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.101\:0/sources.cs.bell-labs.com /n/sources -o
trans=unix
[sudo] password for jdc:
$ cd /n/sources/contrib/catenate
$ ls -lad
drwxrwxr-x 1 4294967294 4294967294 0 2009-09-30 23:11 .
$ touch this
touch: cannot touch `this': Permission denied
$ ls `namespace`
