kfs isn't the default filesystem anymore -- we've moved to fossil.

to perform normal maintenance operations you can add your user to the
'sys' group, which will be enough for almost all maintenance
operations.  if you want something non-trivial (like changing the
permissions of a file not owned by you or sys) you can use 'wstat' on
the fossil console, or do serve a console allowing everyone to write
to it (the replica script does that trick -- see
/dist/replica/network).

to connect to the fossil console do 'con -l /srv/fscons'; the commands
are in fossilcons(8).

here's how you may mount a write-allow fossil partition:

% con -l /srv/fscons
prompt: fsys main
main: srv -AWP fsallow
main: ^\
>>> q
% mount /srv/fsallow /n/fossil
% cd /n/fossil # and edit whatever you want there...
