Does .L still qualify as "closer to Plan 9", or is it NFS by any other name? Please excuse the inflammatory phrasing - that's an honest question. I'm very ignorant about NFS and its differences from 9p, other than the number of message types. If you have a moment I'd appreciate a quick summary, but feel free to tell me to do my own homework ;) I'd hazard a guess that 9p's auth mechanism is more flexible, for starters. -sqweek
