> p9skclient: gettickets: Connection timed out Aha! Factotum uses ndb (the library, not the program) to map from auth domain to auth server. If it can't find a mapping, it tries to use the auth domain as a machine name directly. Unless your auth server's machine name is ca.sandia.gov, you need to edit $PLAN9/ndb/local to add an entry:
authdom=ca.sandia.gov auth=your-auth-server.sandia.gov There are examples in that file already. Too many examples. Sadly, it appears that my own local changes (entries for cs.bell-labs.com and pdos.csail.mit.edu, and a reference to a non-existant file=cox-home) leaked into the distribution. I've removed them (no real harm done), but perhaps the entry for cs.bell-labs.com was no longer correct, which would explain your other problem. Russ
