The Security in Plan 9 paper mentions a desire for public-key auth, reiterated later by some GSOC proposal (probably Sape, but I can't be arsed to check). I don't know why they wanted this, *BUT* it *would* happen to be a good first step towards a real distributed filesystem like Orifs. Which in turn would solve at least about four things in Plan 9 including the obvious one (shared root, meaning a laptop doesn't separately have to be administrated). Anyway, shout-out to inferno-bls's lapfs.
