Subject: [9fans] fossil listening on /net.alt?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 61dca578-ead7-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

I am trying to get a plan9 box to serve a seccond
private network, /net.priv (I already use /net.alt for other things).

I can duplicate cs, dns, tftp dhcp etc on the seccond network (dns resolving
not withstanding) but I haven't worked out how to teach fossil to listen to
anything but the default network.

I tried this (from fossil console):

	listen /net.priv/tcp!*!564
	listen: announce '/net.priv/tcp!*!564': announce opening /net.priv/tcp/clone: '/net.priv' file does not exist

As this machine boots from fossil, this is started before the seccond network
and thus /net.priv/tcp is not in fossil's namespace.

Then I tried this:

	listen /net.priv/tcp!*!564
	listen: announce '#I1/tcp!*!564': announce opening /net/#I1/tcp/clone: '/net/#I1' file does not exist

It seems I could hack libc here:

	/sys/src/libc/9sys/announce.c:221

to test for a leading' /' or '#', but that feels a bit hackish.

Anyone think a better way round this?
