okay.  i think i suffer from unix-domain-socket on the brain. :-)
also, i didn't realize that there was an interrpc-dependence in venti
communication.

one advantage of using 9p to encapsulate the venti rpc would be
that authentication would be much easier.  also, venti wouldn't require
a network stack.

how does one protect venti from unauthorized writes if the announce
address isn't on a real network rather than a loopback device?
