someone in france (at inria or univ-paris8?) announced an smb
client, though i haven't seen the code.

i'm thinking hard about writing a translator for plan 9
and unix to go between smb, 9p, nfs, sfs, and maybe afs.
(i have too many file services i'd like to connect to.)
we'll see.  probably in the fall.
