Hi

[kokamoto]

I'm now going to use 9front for my main machine.
I read the FAQ of maintaining the system.
When makeing fileserver, It says put the line of
service=cpu
while the kernel is 9pcf.  
This is also true to make auth server...

Why you don't use 9pccpuf instead of 9pcf?

Anyway, I was just beginning to make fileserver,
and found we need basic Plan9 constituting
machines, such as fileserver, authserver/cpu server
and terminals...  Old memory came back to me!

Hmmm, I have to buy at least one more Rapsberry pi
board for auth server...   Am I right?
Or can I use auth/file server on a machine?

9front got rid of the different kernels and now just uses one kernel
per architecture.

You can run *everything* on one machine if you want.

It's up to you.

It's very nice to me.
I followed the FAQ of maintaing system, now my
A68N-5000 machine is file server.   The, I tried to make it
auth server followinmg the FAQ.   At this stage I got
error message of no 5356 listenning(somehow).
I looked into /rc/bin/service and /rc/bin/service.auth,
there is no term for secstore (5356).  How I can solve this?

By the way, I may be too quick to enter full system.
I should have more time to be familiar with this 9front.
If possible, I'd like to this machine back to usual terminal.
It' very hard to do so so far.
Can I do it?   If possible how?

Kenji

PS.
Strange to me, when I use the machine as fileserver etc,
there is no /dev/draw.   I had it when using the machine
as a terminal.   wondering...

I tired it by myself, and got errors.
I removed the of
service=cpu
from /dev/sdC0/9fat/plan9.ini.

Then I got the following errors:
mount: auth-proxy: auth\proxy read fd: authread: auth protocol not finished
mount: mount /root: authread: auth protocol not finished
mount -c /srv/boot /root: mount 613: mount

Then, back to the bootargs[] input line. and this loop is
forever continued.

[cinap_lenrek]

cwfs still has authentication enabled but theres no host key read by
factotum from nvram because you switched it to be a terminal.
you need to disable authentication from cwfs config mode:

on bootargs, pass the -c flag to cwfs: local!/dev/sdXX/fscache -c

then type:

noauth

it should say something like

"auth is now disabled"

then type:

end

It pissed me off having to do that.

It pissed you off having to use different kernels, or it pissed you off
not having to use different kernels?

Having to use two different kernels. The only difference was the draw memory. And even now a days with all this memory we have available that not even really and issue anymore either.

Thanks a lot.
Yes, I've been also considering so...

I did this already.
I had trouble to deal with only cui after I chose to use
service=cpu.

Now, I made /rc/bin/cpurc.local to add many devices
which are not included in the /rc/bin/cpurc.
I also made /cfg/titan/cpustart  (titan is my fileserver's name,
yes, it made us much much surprised when huygens landed on)
to include many stuffs which are almost included 
in /usr/glenda/lib/profile.

Now, I can use GUI on this fileserver machine.
Without GUI, it's very hard task to search anything
from unfamilier huge ground to me.

Now, I can do my task.

Thanks a lot everyone.
