Again, Inferno can use a Plan 9 auth server, but it doesn't (to my knowledge) provide a server which can provide the Plan 9 auth service. It does provide its own auth services, but I've never attempted to use factotum to authenticate against Inferno auth, so I'm not sure how useful that would be from p9p. There was some work to provide Plan 9 Auth services under UNIX that I tried to help with (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1400101), but to my knowledge it remains incomplete. -eric
