This time with just flag authdebug and without going through secstore, since it gave me the problem highlighted above, plain auth from the QEMU host gives the following at Ken FS:
il: allocating ... user akumar = 2 authenticated authorize: uid is 2 authorize: uid is 2 hangup! connection timed out-3 ... so at least basic auth is being done -- but what's the bizarre problem when doing secstore (notice it hangs around for a long time before giving that error message in the previous post)? And of course, why the time out from the Ken FS server? I've attached a conversation from start to finish between Ken FS (192.168.1.3) and the Plan 9 inside QEMU (192.168.1.20). tcpdump command was: tcpdump -w kenfs-full.pcap-X -s 0 -n -e \ -ttt -i ath0 src 192.168.1.3 or dst 192.168.1.3 to produce the pcap output, and tcpdump -X -nnr kenfs-full.pcap > kenfs-full.convo to produce the attached file with human-readble data. Please let me know if more information is desired. Thanks, ak
