That depends on what you mean by "duplicating what sources is doing." Sources runs two fossils (one it boots from and one it serves to the world) in two different authentication domains. You could pull that off with a single fossil instance (i.e., 9P and its clients could deal with seeing different authentication domains for different file systems), but it would be a fair amount of work to get everything lined up right. Much easier just to run two different fossils. Putting -N on open would be just one of many changes. If you had just one authentication domain, then having an open -N would let you make one of your file systems not require authentication, like sources, but still use a single 9P port. I'm not sure how useful that really is. Russ
