Unix as file server

Unix as file server

[Jean]

Two things I would have liked to know before setting up a unix machine
as a plan9 file server:
- When renaming the files after the cdrom read, find, sed, join, sed,
sort the file of mv commands in reverse lexicographic order to
rename the directories *after* renaming the files they contain.
- When setting your ~plan9/etc/passwd file, translate the ~adm/users
file to /etc/passwd format *but_don't* give the uid 0 to the none user.

Now I would like to know how to use 9auth to perform authentification.
Any pointer would be appreciated.

If you have a pc with a cdrom, it's better to follow the instructions
