> Oh it gets better:

"UNIX's name server, BIND, has been replaced by ndb, which is easy to
configure, much more secure, and is the partial basis for Plan 9's
powerful, distributed name space."

And since there *are* several bits and pieces of Plan 9 that I still do
not grasp, and since private namespaces have also been brought up recently
as something not every n00b gets right away: could anybody please explain
to me what exactly the Plan 9 namespaces have to do with ndb?
