I suppose my approach where the file server is on the network isn't great either, although it may be suitable for an auth server. What are the various eventual uses for a plug running P9? I can think of Stealth CPU server/AUTH server ARM development system (where's Go?) Can't think of anything else, but I'm not great on the imagination thing. I'm particularly fragmented now, but soon I'll want to focus on only a few projects, so I'm offering to help any sort of concrete goals. I have only an oldish plug, probably a year old now, but it's dedicated to Plan 9. Mind you, so is the YeeLoong and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. ++L
