Factotum needs to be able to get back and authenticate when connecting
to sources.  Add the following to /lib/ndb/local:

	auth=sources.cs.bell-labs.com authdom=outside.plan9.bell-labs.com


Before attempting to connect to network services, start the following:

	ndb/cs
	auth/factotum
	auth/feedkey


If /n/sources doesn't exist, or your need to create it on domand or per user:

	mount -ac {mntgen} /n


Now you're ready to connect to sources;

	mount -9 tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs /n/sources


Feedkey will prompt you as required for authentication.
