[9fans] something more simple than import(1) -B

[Eric Van Hensbergen]

Probably a stupid question -- there seems like there should be a
simple way to take stdin/stdout and generate a srv file -- such that I
could aux/listen1 tcp!*!someport srvit -b somesrvname

import -B sorta does this, but it does too much, it shoves
authentication down my throat and also wants to mount it to some mount
point instead of giving me a nice srv file.  Is there some more simple
command I'm missing, or is this just something that needs to be
written?

Similarly, Inferno doesn't really seem to have the concept of an
import -B, which seems kinda of annoying.

aux/listen1 tcp!*!someport rc -c 'echo -n 0 > /srv/somesrvname'

Guess I was getting too hung up on stdin and stdout being different
fd's like a boofhead.  Thanks Russ.
