[9fans] sources flproto example still accurate

[Fernan Bolando]

Hi all

Is this example from "man fossilcons" still accurate?

srv –p fscons.sources
srv –p fscons.sources.adduserd
srv sources
fsys main config /dev/sdC0/fossil.outside
fsys main open –c 25600
fsys main
users /active/adm/users
listen tcp!*!564
msg –m 40 –p 10
snaptime –a 0000 –s 15


I am trying to figure out why I can mount sources, but not my local
cpu/auth/fileserver into my mac os x computer.

regards
fernan

I would not reccomend -s 15 for now, there appears to be a bug in fossil
where it can deadlock itself somtimes - My home server used to lock up
once every few weeks, after disabling snapshots it has been fine.

I do still do nightly dumps to venti however, that part of the system
is absolutely fine.

Thanks, However it seems my problem is not my flproto

if I try to mount the plan9 system without using srv -a I will get
$ 9 mount thinktank /tmp/c
top level name fuse in fuse.version is invalid
top level name macfuse in macfuse.version.number is invalid
9pfuse: fsmount: cannot attach as none before authentication

if I try to use srv -a I get
$ srv -a thinktank
!adding key: role=client proto=p9sk1 dom=fernan.net
user[fernan]: fernan


and it stays there forever. without asking me for my password. Any
ideas what I did wrong

is auth negotiation supported in p9p?

I dont know, but what is wrong with my configuration if I can mount
sources like unauthenticated...
mac0:~ fernan$ srv sources.cs.bell-labs.com sources
mac0:~ fernan$ mkdir ./tmp/c
mac0:~ fernan$ 9 mount `namespace`/sources ./tmp/c
top level name fuse in fuse.version is invalid
mac0:~ fernan$ lc ./tmp/c
9grid   adm     contrib dist    extra   lsr     patch   plan9   wiki    xen
mac0:~ fernan$

....but not my cpu server???

i'm confused.  your previous post had "srv -a".  i
thought unauthenticated was "srv -A".

you may also need -N.

sorry for the confusion. I initially tried to mount my cpu server using
mac0:~ fernan$ srv thinktank tt
mac0:~ fernan$ 9 mount `namespace`/tt ./tmp/g
top level name fuse in fuse.version is invalid
9pfuse: fsmount: cannot attach as none before authentication

man srv yields
SYNOPSIS
 srv [ -an ] [ -k keypattern ] address [ srvname ]

" The -a option causes srv to post a pre-authenticated connec-
          tion to the file system aname (by default, the empty string;
          see attach(9p))."

...which led me to believe I needed to do an pre-authenticated
connection, but as Skip pointed might not be possible if p9p is
capable of doing authentication. This then led to the question "What
do I need to do to allow me mount my cpu server the same way as I can
mount sources?"

i see now you were talking about p9p srv(4) not fossilcons(8)
srv.  sorry.

the difference with sources is sources allows attach as none.
i think you'll need to enable this with your listen via the
fossil console.

ps.  9fans.net/archive seems to be having a problem.
http://9fans.net/archive/2010/05/151 has turned '-' into
u+0096 (start of guarded area).  i no longer have the
original email, but it appeared normal when i read it.

I'm pretty sure it is as long as you have the auth
server configured and you have factotum running.
I don't have my machine up at the moment, but I
do have that kind of connection as part of my login
script on FreeBSD using p9p.
