I use u9fs and run it on my Linux / BSD machines using tcpserver (though
inetd works too)

I run them with -a none :) but it's a private LAN. Auth does work but I
don't use it.

You can also run u9fs on the end of ssh, e.g.

tcpserver localhost 564 ssh remote u9fs -a none


see http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/4/u9fs for more details
