You just have to import the service from the file server. The file server will have to offer it via exportfs but that's no big. --upas-cmtogrnyzrqgqgeribbcnrhqtv Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Thu Oct 9 11:05:48 EDT 2003 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Thu Oct 9 11:05:45 EDT 2003 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 9D32419C18; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 11:05:26 -0400 (EDT) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.18.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 50DB519C05; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 11:05:12 -0400 (EDT) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 9B7EE19AB2; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 11:04:23 -0400 (EDT) Received: from rapido.vitanuova.com (unknown [62.254.170.97]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 1B35519C1A for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 9 Oct 2003 11:04:11 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] 'wall' messages From: rog@vitanuova.com In-Reply-To: <3d8154149de8f10b0ef1beb40db0f7d5@plan9.bell-labs.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 16:07:12 +0100 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.2 required=5.0 tests=IN_REP_TO,NO_REAL_NAME,QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT version=2.55 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) > I'm with rog.

Call it a chat room if you like. problem is, that doesn't address the problem of fileservers going away. but i guess fileservers should be much more stable than cpu servers (less chance of someone like me killing it with a dodgy job), and perhaps a warning mail message is more appropriate in this case. --upas-cmtogrnyzrqgqgeribbcnrhqtv--
