I thought that npfs is a successor of v9fs? I have now also installed u9fs which is part of the Plan 9 iso. This seams to be a complete Unix file system exporting solution for accesing remote file systems from Plan 9. My question is if I use the Plan9 in user space port on the client side it would be theoretically possible to use the u9fs from non native Plan9 machines too?.

As I said above if I have a native Linux file server and a Linux/Unix client that is able to make use of the plan9port distribution, does that enable authenticated connections for me? thanks Jakob > > -eric > > >
