(12:51:49) andguent: what is the easiest way to get the standard distribution of inferno running on windows?
(12:58:32) mjl-: hmm, good question...
(12:58:33) mjl-: do you have compilers?
(12:58:46) andguent: well i got mingw+minsys usually around
(12:58:46) mjl-: it is not hard to compile...
(12:59:03) mjl-: oh, don't know how easy that is.  i've used ms' free compilers
(12:59:12) mjl-: i don't know if inferno comes with windows binaries...
(12:59:20) mjl-: i do know gdiaz has some windows binaries
(12:59:25) mjl-: as .msi installable
(12:59:28) andguent: on another level: what key is svc/auth asking me about?
(13:00:30) mjl-: good question, i don't know from the top of my head.  svc/auth is just a shell script that executes a bunch of commands.
(13:00:41) mjl-: if you execute those one by one, you'll see which program is asking
(13:00:47) mjl-: and that probably has a man page :)
(13:00:59) mjl-: http://9grid.es/ios/ for gdiaz' page
(13:01:17) andguent: ;)
(13:01:21) andguent: thanks
(13:01:55) mjl-: if i had a proper windows machine, not polluted with other stuff, i would create & publish some binaries
(13:02:10) mjl-: right now i don't want to risk putting up virus-infested binaries up...
(13:03:29) andguent: ;)
(13:04:12) andguent: for some reason i am just to stupid for the whole auth stuff
(13:04:24) andguent: i never really get it going
(13:04:28) andguent: duh. it is frustrating
(13:08:03) mjl-: i usually forget the set up
(13:08:07) mjl-: i create certs that last long
(13:08:35) mjl-: once you have a certificate on a client & server, you can use those and the auth network services are not used
(13:10:31) andguent: you get the certs with getauthinfo. right?
(13:11:11) mjl-: yes
(13:12:28) andguent: i think i got the right certificates now
(13:12:33) andguent: let's see...
(13:16:06) andguent: strange svc/net claims that !registry and !styx are already taken
(13:16:52) andguent: oh whatever. it works :)
(13:17:05) andguent: finally authenticated 9p between two infernos
(13:17:08) andguent: that is good :)
(13:22:39) andguent: wasn't so bad afterall. just me being stupid i guess
(16:15:06) j123m [n=j1m@unas-revda.interra.ru] entered the room.
(16:25:22) andguent: wasn't caerwyn around here too at some point?
(16:32:04) andguent: ah and in case anyone cares
(16:32:31) andguent: you can change your home settings for acme-sac in /lib/sh/profile

(16:54:50) soul9: aww man, can anyone remember where Rob Pike's CSP sieve algorithm can be found?
(16:55:07) anothy_x [n=a@adsl-99-29-33-95.dsl.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(16:56:58) andguent: libtask has one
(16:57:11) andguent: it's also a libthread example i think
(16:58:02) soul9: oh, so man libthread or something?
(16:58:04) soul9: thanks
(16:58:50) soul9: oh, but i'm guessing that's in plan9, not in inferno manual?
(16:58:55) soul9: i don't have plan9 right now :(
(16:59:20) andguent: soul9: http://swtch.com/libtask/primes.c
(16:59:57) soul9: nice!
(17:12:11) andguent: why can i do a runas but not do echo andre > /dev/user ?
(17:12:22) andguent: from what i can see that is just what runas does.
(17:12:24) andguent: any insights?
(17:35:24) soul9: yeah, i don't know, weird ⋯ just tried echo foo > /dev/use && cat /dev/user, but it still returns same user, runas foo cat /dev/user returns foo tho
