It turned out to be my factotum was not visible (it was not bound in in my profile) This feels starnge to me so I checked in /sys/lib/newuser to make sure I hand't just deleted the line by mistake, but no. Is this by design? is there a reason for not binding in my factotum when I cpu(1) -Steve ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T776c75aaf99131e7-Me69fac4bf2f83af5660ae2d6 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Woth drawterm you don't have a factotum (that would be love), so you can't bind it. With drawterm you'd need running factotum on the cpu, which is not that nice... I never ended up using the original pro-file (pun intended) from newuser. I always adjusted it to my needs and now I have a nicely working profile. I assume it's meant to be adjusted to your situation. I think that's like you can't install a generic Plan 9 system and expect it to fit your needs. It always depends on your network, the machines etc. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Btw the drawterm /dev/secstore stuff never worked for me. I don't even know why I would need the auth server in drawterm... sirjofri ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T776c75aaf99131e7-Me084afeaf9f09ef4b94c91b4 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

FYI: I have a patch which stores the secrets from secstore in /dev/secstore in drawterm so your profile can start factotum -n and populate the factotum with cat - and then importantly clear out the /dev/secstore. I did't write this code put found it on the net (kudos to the original author). it means you can start drawterm with a just a click linux/osx/windows click and secstore password. It is less secure, but I am using this at home only. -Steve ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T776c75aaf99131e7-M360d6367539b360160494b90 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
