i suppose that it has the benefit that it conflicts
with the fileserver's dump format. plus it sorts incorrectly.

a version of cec(8), the client, is available in the
distribution. also, a better-for-debugging version
is available as contrib quanstro/cec. see the -e
flag. cec(3), the server, is available in 9atom.
i've been using cec heavily recently as i've been

We, on this side of the pond, find that format rather modern and exciting;
not in the least bit old... ☺

The problem is not drawterm, it is by design. keyfs (and I assume secstored)
create a virtual filesystem that the command line apps use to communicate with
the running daemon.
Due to plan9's per process namespace and because your drawterm session is not
decended from the console's shell (where /mnt/keys was created) you cannot see

[9fans] secuser bugs

quans...@coraid.com (erik quanstrom) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:19:14 UT

i submitted a patch to secuser. i noticed that the
month printed was off by one. according to secuser
one year from today would be (in the odd ddmmyyyyy
format it used) 04002011.
i changed that to yyyymmdd and fixed a handful of
bugs. one year from today is now 20110104.

Thank you Erik.
I managed to log in as bootes with drawterm and then went and edited
/adm/secstore/who/$user by hand to give it a new expiration epoch value.
I'm not sure why the auth commands hang in a vanilla drawterm (no rio). I
get the impression that setting the console to raw doesn't work with

I think (I haven't tried this) you can drawterm in as bootes
and then manually edit the file /adm/secstore/who/$user and change
the number after exp. I guess this number is the number of secs since 1/1/70
butthe source for secstored wil tell you.

see secstore(8). auth/secuser $user is what you want. on

[9fans] secstore account expired, how fix it using only drawterm

rtrli...@googlemail.com (Robert Raschke) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:56:18 UT

Somehow my account "expired" in a way that appears to only affect secstore.
I can log in and do stuff, but get the fgui popup for stuff normally stored
in my factotum.
And ...
cpu% auth/secstore -g factotum

Just saw this Patch of Paul's, it's the same stuff I found. I'm now anxious

Good times! Thanks Paul and Russ!

I've got two of the USBified ones, one attached to my cpu server and
one moving
between an old iBook and a few other Plan 9 machines. i still really
like the feel in
my hand and the resistance on the buttons, although optical is a real
step forward.
the little plastic nubs on the bottom could be smoother, too.

Anyone remember or still use the Depraz red mouse? I thought I had heard someone figured out how to convert them to USB...
I've got three brand-new-in-box, so at least one of them is itching to be usb-ifyed.
I've got a Magic Mouse as my main mouse now. It's much more solid than the Mighty Mouse, but you still have to lift your index finger off the surface to deliver a right-click. Furthermore, without the depressible trackball, there's no way to deliver a middle-click, so it's back to keyboard shortcuts...

Interesting. :-) I've used the Apple Magic Mouse, and it's "ok". I was at
an apple store when I did. I've got some code that can read touchpads (I
think I've tracked up to 10 points). If the mouse has the same raw
capabilities as the touch pad, it might be a good Plan 9 chording mouse. I
just worry what happens when your palm is down or not on the mouse.

that's potentially useful, thanks.
BTW, any robust file tree walker in plan 9 should
cope with cycles in the tree. maybe just a linear list of
parents with refcounted nodes might work best for
this implementation.
something like the attached modification to walk.c, perhaps?
