I understand my fault.
My experiment stood on "disk/kfscmd allow".
By the way, I sometimes think of Plan9 terminal that can do
some important anonymous services(ftp, http, ... ).
The terminal do not have any human users except host owner
and allows telnet and ftp to only host owner without
authentication server.
Today, many servers are running on unnecessary large system.
Plan9 terminal can be a handy server for personal use and
can be much secure than UNIX.
However kfs file system was/is not intended to be secure
for such a purpose. "disk/kfscmd allow" is one of example.
The command allows ALL user to do every thing to
the file system.
Thanks,
Kenji Arisawa

The simple fact is, the console user has physical access to
the file storage also, so it isn't really secure anyway.
