I know I've asked this before, but how does plan9 authentication
work?  I have a file server up and running with the complete plan9
distribution, and I can boot a auth server using the 9sscpu (I think)
kernel, correct authentication ID, correct domain, correct pw,
but with I try and boot a user machine, it hangs during authentication.
Also, when I do a auth/changeuser on the auth server, it gives me a
file not found after I enter the pw and the expiration.  Doesn't tell
me which file, just that it didn't find it.  Perhaps I'm not even 
adding the user machine into the network right, what do I have to do?
