Then (if not too silly a problem) my n00b issue (that I actually still
haven't completely worked out):

What mostly confuses me is how authentication works in Plan 9.

It seems quite straightforward to grasp its concepts, but obviously I am
missing something about the different roles needed in the authentication
process: the concrete problem being that I am trying to set up a
standalone desktop machine with authentication, and I get confused about
how to pack all different roles into one machine.
