Re: multimple domain authentication

By the way, if you can ignore the account creation hassle, the current
scheme doesn't seem too bad.  The way factotum and namespace binding
works, distributed computing already feels pretty good in Plan 9 compared
to other systems.  In particular, it doesn't trouble me to have a different
handle here and at other locations;  name mapping is not a constant battle.

Everybody in this conversation already knows that perfectly well, but I
just wanted to note it for anybody lurking.
