=========



The Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project

on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs).

Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno)

as the 9p server.  You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the

following command:

   ; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*'



The -A specifies an unauthenticated export.  The 564 is the port # (you may

have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user).  The '#U*'

specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space.  You may specify a

subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export

/tmp.  For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten

and export.



A Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project

on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs).  There is also a

more stable single-threaded version of the server (named spfs) available from

the same CVS repository.



There are user and developer mailing lists available through the v9fs project

on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/v9fs).
