[9fans] Announcement - Glenda Rulz

[Skip Tavakkolian]

Hello 9fans,

We've been working on a system we call Shared Name Spaces, and a
service based on that system.  We're opening the service to testing by
9fans who want to try it.  Anyone interested please email me directly.

Thanks,
-Skip

P.S. interestingly it has relevance to two of the recent threads
on 9fans (re: 9pm/plan9 kernel, and plan9 music server)

[Wes Kussmaul]

I'm interested!

Yes, could you explain a bit more to this list? I'm sure it's of
interest to a lot of us.

What does this entail?  I’ve read the blurb—“secure, ad-hoc virtual
network services”—but what’s it mean?

Hi Wes,

Hope you're doing well.  It's basically what i showed you, but with a
web gateway for accessing files, instead of the IFS.  The IFS piece
is still not ready for prime time.  If you want anyone to try it, have
them contact me.  You can signup for a login (automatic) and
download the agent at:

https://www.9netics.net

The FAQ should give a reasonable idea of what the sequence should
be.  Please send me any and all feedback.

Thanks,
-Skip

Of course I only saw the blurb at 9netics.com, completely missing the
details at 9netics.net.  Never mind...

Hi Joel,

Check out the FAQ on the site.  If you have access to a Windows (2K or
XP) box you can try it out.  Just sign up for an account.  I'm trying
to keep the number of users low.  Please don't forward this email.  If
someone should try it or is interested have them contact me.  Please
send me any feedback and bug reports.

(note it is HTTPS)

Thanks,

Hi Skip!

I guess here goes my first bug report -- SNSA constantly coredumps (or 
what do they
call it on Win? ;-)) when I try to login. I can login successfully via 
browser, though.

Thanks,
Roman.

  Aha! The coredump was because of an empty group. Now, once I put
the group name there it was capable of logging in, but I still
can't see the network drive. Now, granted, that would be my first
time trying to do something in Windows in a looooong time, but still ;-)

Thanks,
Roman.

before you login, take a look at the "Options" menu and see what it
has for root directory. does that folder exists?  also you can "Show console"
before login to see a trace of what's happening. let me know
and what version of windows you're using.

thanks for trying it.

Unfortunately the IFS stuff is not ready for prime time. I hope
to announce something before the end of the year.

One way to use SNS is to share your files with just yourself - i.e.
make your files on your PC visible/accessible to you from anywhere in
a secure way.

A cool name might save the world - but at times I want to know what's
involved too.

What is this thing ?
