I have set up u9fs on a linux machine as indicated in the README,
and it works, when my plan 9 username is the same as my linux username.
When there is no linux user with the same name as the plan 9 user
that does the mount (attach), it fails. Is there a way to specify,
from the plan9 side, what linux user name should be used when doing
the mount (attach)? (like the -l option of rlogin)

It seems that the -u command line option of u9fs can be used as
a kind of workaround: it allows me to choose one single linux user
name onto which then all plan 9 users will be mapped, correct?

Axel.

No, sorry.

you can always change the mapping code to
read in a mapping table.
