Well, yes, but I was hoping for something a little less tedious than
wading through 137,124 hits for `#'. Removing `#include' admittedly

My initial installation/playing with Plan 9 was, surprisingly enough,
using the basic Plan 9 ISO from 9p.io. That image (and the resulting

That looks much more believable than the others. Thank you very much
for the pointer.

If I have PasswordAuthentication enabled on a remote host (tested on
MacOS and FreeBSD so far), I can log in to them without any problem.
However, if I have passwords disabled, but have an RSA key on the Plan 9
host and the corresponding pub key in authorized_keys on those remote
hosts, I'm failing

You are exactly correct. Looks like rsa(8) has a bug in its example
for generating and installing a fresh key for a remote Unix system, in
that it says to use:
auth/rsagen -t 'service=ssh'

Well, typically flags are specific to some command, and are documented

This is probably the wrong place for this, but I'm trying to
understand why 9front's FQA supported hardware list (specifically, desktop
and laptop systems) points to a for-sale list of a Lenovo ThinkPad, a
Sun Ultra 5, and a bunch of keyboards.
