Subject: [9front] Enabling a service
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

Hello!

I am running a default 9front installation and would like to enable
a test service listening on a port: the echo service on port 7.

This guide

 <https://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/9.intro.pdf>

deals in Chapter 6.4 with services, but my system apparently differs
from the examples there.

I have in /rc/bin/service some files like the following ones:

!tcp110
!tcp143
!tcp7

with a leading `!' in the filename. These could correspond to a service:
I tried to rename `!tcp7' to `tcp7', but this doesn't make the system
listening on port 7 for the `echo' service (telnet can't contact the
host on port 7).

How to enable such a service? I guess that my system is not a CPU server,
probably it's just a file server. Does this matter?

Bye,

Rocky
