They are. As it turns out, it was a combination of operator error and misleading documentation. I had not put an appropriate entry in /usr/local/plan9/ndb/local. Instead, I had specified the auth server's IP address in a -a argument to factotum. It looked from the man page that would work, but it doesn't. In fact the authaddr variable set to that argument doesn't appear to ever get used anywhere. Anyway, the moral of the story is to put the entry in ndb/local and not rely on the -a option to factotum. As long as I'm at it, though, I've got a question about listen. It's filling a rather large logfile with lots of address in use errors. As I look into things, it appears that I'm starting listen both in /bin/cpurc and in /cfg/phantom/cpurc with the latter specifying the -t option. That definitely seems to be one too many. It looks from what I've got that I should comment out the one in /bin/cpurc. What is the convention on that? Thanks for all the suggestions, BLS
