At the Linux World expo here in New York, I found a company called Beeweeb that provides an "Internet file server". Apparently there is a program that runs on the server and presents a view of the file system via a proprietary protocol. A separate client (available on windows, linux solaris) presents this as a mounted file system (on windows, a mapped network drive).
How much of factotum, etc. needs to be ported to a platform before a similar client could be written for 9p?

It's actually the other way around. What authentication protocol to they
use? We'ld have to support it in our plan 9 factotum.

I think he is asking what a competing product, based on Plan9, would
need on the "client" side to authenticate itself to the
server -- assuming that the "Internet fileserver" is also the
authenticator.
A port of factotum, or use the old protocol perhaps?
