Hi, all.
I've some question about plan9port on FreeBSD 6.2 + fuse.

My config is:

Host duke: FreeBSD 6.2, fuse mounts allowed to non privileged users,
            plan9port installed with no problems (30-jan).
Host milagro: Plan9 file+auth+secstore server, fossil+venti.
Host dria: Plan9 terminal served by milagro
User adriano: non privileged user, same on duke and milagro
Network setup ok on all machines.
-------------------------
Q.1
duke% export NAMESPACE=/home/adriano/NS
duke% factotum
duke% 9fs milagro
duke% 9 mount NS/milagro mil
factotoum ok, with/without secstore.
mount ok.

duke% echo ciaociao > mil/usr/adriano/ciao
bash: mil/usr/adriano/ciao: Permissione denied

Also using vi, creating files is not allowed and the message is:
"bad mode 01001 - Permission denied"

Instead, on duke, the user adriano can modify and delete
his already existent (created from "dria" terminal) files
served by milagro.

How can I allow file creation directly from duke (FreeBSD) ?
--------------------------------------------

Q.2

duke% 9p -a milagro -A main/archive <cmd>

Ok for all <cmd>s, I see, read etc milagro's archive.

How can I mount main/{archive,snapshot} on a duke's directory ?
In P9P doc I've not found how to issue a command like
"mount /srv/fossil /n/arc main/archive".
My mistake or feature intentionally not implemented (or not implemented 
yet)?
--------------------------------------------

Q.3

All tests done using the raw char console (no X)
produce the expected network traffic.

Under X + KDE there is a continuous, unsolicited, net activity
which stops dismounting the Plan9 file server (milagro)
or stopping X without dimounting milagro.
This is independent on the environment from which milagro has been
mounted (char console or X-KDE).
I tried all command sequences to have both milagro mounted and KDE 
running, but the final behaviour is always the same.

Where/what am I mistaking ?
----------------------------------

I apologize for my not fluent english.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
