If you mean kenfs, you'll need to modify your /dist/replica/network.
I've included mine as a sample. May not fit your need exactly:

cpu% cat /dist/replica/network
#!/bin/rc
 
s=/n/dist/dist/replica
serverroot=/n/dist
serverlog=$s/plan9.log
serverproto=$s/plan9.proto
fn servermount {
	srv tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com sources /n/sources
	bind /n/sources/plan9 /n/dist
}
fn serverupdate { status='' }

fn clientmount { 9fs il!fs /n/fs }
c=/n/fs/dist/replica
clientroot=/n/fs
clientdb=$c/client/plan9.db
clientexclude=(dist/replica/client)
clientlog=$c/client/plan9.log

# applyopt=(-u -T$c/client/plan9.time)
# remove the -u so we can do the pulls with somebody who is
# a member of sys
applyopt=(-T$c/client/plan9.time)

For permission checking either add yourself to sys group
or do allow on the fs console. Check Russ' response to similar
questions in the past at groups.google.com (comp.os.plan9)
