Hi,

In order to construct an authenticated mount of sources, you will need
to start factotum, use srv -a to create an auth-ed connection to the
server and to "post" it, and to mount the "posted" connection.

(assuming you have a working plan9port install and are on a unix):
$ 9 factotum
(start factotum in the current 'namespace'. p9p's current namespace is
the value of the NAMESPACE environmental variable).

$ srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com
(I am prompted for my userid and password on the server)
user[venkatesh]: <my sources username>

[mount step; I use v9fs.You will have to adapt if you're using 9pfuse or 9mount]
$ sudo mount -t 9p $NAMESPACE/sources.cs.bell-labs.com <mountpath> -o trans=unix

Good luck,
