I'm using Russ's server for the server side. I have made two mods, which are enabled by switches. The first mod is enabled by -N, and means: all user-ids are represented Numerically, by 8-digit hex numbers. This changes something like four lines in the server proper. I think the reason for this one is pretty obvious, so I won't go into detail here (just consider that we have 15,000 names in our LDAP at LANL ... name-to-uid mapping is not a problem I want to deal with in the kernel). The second, -p, will make the server create a socket and use it for connections. This second change is temporary until we're ready to go back to the inetd version. There is one other change I forgot: we are, until we work out our auth protocol, letting root connect. fsx passes. v9fs.sourceforge.net for links to source etc. Greg and I are slowly converting the whole tree to 9p2000, but it's not all there yet. The fs2k directory contains the client VFS with most of the stuff Al complained about removed. We will be doing testing with 1023 clients to one server in the next months. ron
