passwd protocol botch

passwd protocol botch

[Giacomo Tesio]

Hi, I'm tring to change glenda's password with passwd but I keep
obtainig this criptic error:

> passwd: protocol botch: cs: can't traslate address: dns: resource does not exist; negrcode

I'm tring to get a single cpu server with auth+fs so that I can
connect to it with drawterm.

I'm actually able to connect to it via drawterm but with two issues:
- I can access as glenda without a password
- after boot an rc running as glenda is automatically provided without
any request for login.

This is obviously unsafe.

This is the content of plan9.ini:

bootfile=9pcf
nobootprompt=local!/dev/sd00/fs -m 192
mouseport=ps2intellimouse
monitor=vesa
service=cpu
*acpi=

Maybe I missed something in the process to turn a terminal into a cpu
server, but I can't find what.

I'm trying hard to solve this issues by myself, but with no success.

I used the fqa7 path, with hjfs but
- the system still automatically start an rc as glenda
- I can't passwd with success (despite the password complexity)
- despite auth/changeuser I can't auth/login

Should I follow this guide instead

After reinstalling with cwfs64x I still can't drawterm to the machine.

If I enable authentication, the boot keep asking for bootargs.

If I disable authentication, boot produce an rc for glenda (in
console, no rio, since I set service=cpu in plan9.ini), but when I try
to drawterm to the machine I obtain

> ?password mismatch with auth server

and a line is logged on the authserver:

> cpu: srvauth: auth_proxy short read

I've configure nvram (auth/wrkey) and /lib/ndb/local.

If I run

> auth/changeuser -n glenda

or

> auth/changeuser -n giacomo

I get an error about forbidden accounts.

With -p auth/changeusers works, but I can't authenticate with drawterm.

In case anybody else hit this wall, I fixed the problem with these steps:
- install dnsmasq in the dom0 (9front is running as an hvm guest),
- add to its /etc/hosts two entries pointing to the ip of the 9front
guest: a host.9front and a p9auth.9front
- stop restart dnsmasq
- configure /lib/ndb/local according, with authdom 9front, dns
pointing to te dom0.

This way I can access the 9front install with drawterm, as either
glenda or another user, always with the proper password.

I still have an rc running under glenda at the console, but I can't
find a way to make it ask for a password instead.
