True, for file service with authentication you do need to run it on a
cpu server.
But kfs on a terminal will also serve its filesystem to the network
if you do 'disk/kfscmd listen'. If you add 'disk/kfscmd noneattach',
then other machines will be able to attach as user 'none'.
If you add 'disk/kfscmd noauth', other machines will be able to attach
as any user, but kfs will accept the remote user identity without
attempting to authenticate.
Clearly this is not at all secure; but it may be useful on a local
network of trusted machines, with no outside connection -- for example,
to "synchronise" your laptop with the fs on a standalone Plan 9 machine.
