Ditto. I did not intend to mean anything contrary to that. My interest is only to explore the networking aspects (if any), of using /net with 9P, as against the existing POSIX compliant networks we have, on fronts like anonymity, firewalling and the like. It is important to know that, if I am working to have /net on Linux.. because at the moment, I have no reason to believe that there is any use at all in doing so, apart from enabling the "compiled on/for Plan 9" a.out binaries to find the /net (which they assume to be available everytime... on Plan 9 systems) when loaded on a Linux kernel with Glendix patches. > Am I misunderstanding what you're saying? > >> Rahul Murmuria > > Tim Newsham | www.thenewsh.com/~newsham | thenewsh.blogspot.com > > -- Rahul Murmuria
