If you have p9p installed, that's enough to mount with v9fs.
You can use srv -a to get a preauthenticated Unix socket
and then just mount it like any other Unix socket.
For example, if I use:

	srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com sources
	sudo mount -t 9P -o user=$USER,uid=`id -u`,gid=`id -g`,proto=unix \
		`namespace`/sources /n/sources

then I can read and write files on sources.

> [question about tra and plan 9]

Tra doesn't run on Plan 9 just now.  It is based on p9p,
so it shouldn't be hard to get up and running.
I reworked most of it recently so it is unproven.
I'd only use it with regular backups for now.
