Styxlisten will start a listener and return, so I don't think you need the "&". 564 is the usual 9p port. You can export pieces of the inferno root namespace, rather than the whole thing, by appending an (inferno-rooted) path to the command. > > and tried to mount it in a Linux window as: > > # mount -9p /mnt -o > trans=tcp,port=5901 mount -t 9p /mnt/n/infernohost Gets us hooked up from linux to the inferno 9p service started above; we don't feed any options to the mount command for this kind of use. > > the mount hangs I don't think it hangs -- I think you have a missing "'" in your original styxlisten command, and then background it with "&", so you don't see that it hasn't started running. -- Josh
