I think he is asking what a competing product, based on Plan9, would need on the "client" side to authenticate itself to the server -- assuming that the "Internet fileserver" is also the authenticator. A port of factotum, or use the old protocol perhaps? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Skip Tavakkolian -- Chief cook and bottle washer 9Netics - Distributed Applications Platform http://www.9netics.com
