However, I don't know how to set this > up. on plan 9, to use the terminal's factotum simply bind /mnt/term/mnt/factotum /mnt/factotum since p9p uses unix domain sockets, it would be a matter of forwarding the unix domain socket through the ssh tunnel. i have no idea if that's done, or possible. but if it were, it could be a general solution for plumbing, etc. also, security implications are left to the reader. :-). - erik
