[9fans] import and p9p

[erik quanstrom]

i apologize for the silly question, but
my p9p-fu is quite weak.

is the reason that plan 9 import is not
part of p9p other than it was not needed?
(of course the ssh-based import is included,
but i believe that is something else entirely.)

i'm not dead set on import, but i do require
authentication and will be talking to a cpu
server, not a fs.

I had a very similar question about export (and there's
a chance I'll port it for some of the stuff that I do)
so not having import provides a nice symmetry at least ;-)

Thanks,

it was not needed, and it's not nearly as useful
as the plan 9 one, since the access to 9p
servers is so crippled.

also, you'd need to get tls working.
