server).

=========
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).
