I don't want to put the authentication in the kernel, but somehow to
allow user space programs to create and manipulate authentication
fids. One option would be to expose the afids in /proc or /sys, but
then it is hard to figure out what mount they belong to. Another
option is for every mount, v9fs serves mntpt/.afids directory at the
top of the mountpoint.
Or, as Ron suggested, just forget about multiple users and make it
work for a single one.
Thanks,
