contrib/install quanstro/nfactotum thanks to a bunch of work by brian stuart and Coraid paying both of us to work on these things, we've gotten together a plan 9 version of p9p's factotum. the main purpose of doing this is to support dsa and rsa verify and sign. of course the huge side benefit is that it's much easier to add protocols to factotum.
i am currently running nfactotum as the factotum in my terminal kernel, and i've been testing (but not depending on) a cpu kernel with nfactotum built in. it's verified that cpu, ssh 1 (client), telnet (client) work. imap/smtpd passwd and cram and are untested. i'm unsure if i've tested ssh server. p9cr is missing some bits to make vnc work. telnet (server) is known broken. i don't think it's a hard fix. however, the diagnostic is fortune-worthy: !factotum protocol botch 0 ok bad authentication failed - erik
