Trying to set up authenticated mount
Jorge-León
I have set up a Plan9 file/auth/cpu-server freshly from Erik
Quanstrom's 9atom.iso, to try out
ninefs with authenticated mount.
The Plan9 server only has one user: glenda, and I can connect to it
from another Plan9 terminal
and from 9vx from a Linux computer without problems.
However I cannot connect with ninefs. Find below a debug-session from
an msys windows,
maybe someone can spot the problem at a glance:

My fault: auth has not been listening, don't know why drawterm could
connect successfully.
After carefully re-setting up everything, ninefs(-20100121.exe) is
connecting to the fileserver.
I can read, write and create directories and files. However i cannot
rename files or directories.
When working with Windows Explorer, this (sorrily) is a required
action...
