Re: [9fans] Maybe a weird Plan 9 project.
Issuing RPCs from Emacs is really not that bad if you can stomach elisp. in other words, it's a hateful experience that will leave your soul as dark and twisted as an urskek's. ;-) - erik
Re: [9fans] Plan 9 IPv4 router
Does anybody know if it's possible to use Plan 9 as an IPv4 router?
plan 9 does a fine job of routing ip4 packets. i used plan 9
to do that for a 4 months recently during a network renumbering.
if you do this, make sure you've made this revert to ip.c. the
sources version has both lines, which is harmless but redundant.
minooka; diff -c /n/dump/2010/0930/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c
/n/dump/2010/0820/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c
/n/dump/2010/0930/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c:463,469 -
/n/dump/2010/0820/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c:463,469
}
/* don't forward to source's network */
- memset(conv, 0, sizeof conv);
+ conv.r = nil;
r = v4lookup(f, h-dst, conv);
if(r == nil || r-ifc == ifc){
ip-stats[OutDiscards]++;

How is packet forwarding turned on/off? (Or is it always on?) How do you specify the routing rules? Somewhere in the NDB?
Re: [9fans] Plan 9 IPv4 router
OK, cool. How is packet forwarding turned on/off? (Or is it always on?) echo iprouting /net/ipifc/clone How do you specify the routing rules? Somewhere in the NDB? For example, to route to network 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.0.1: echo add 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 /net/iproute See ip(3) for more details. -- David du Colombier
Re: [9fans] Plan 9 IPv4 router
This URL is the development repository and I should probably extract a proper patch from it. I put the patches in /n/sources/contrib/djc/nat. It doesn't need IL, but IL is supported. That's why the IL patches are included. You can remove the IL parts if not needed. -- David du Colombier
[9fans] mail client; general question web vs command
Hello everybody! I've been using a gmail account with the usual access via a web browser for quite a while. Sometimes I get little angry when using it, for various reasons, often due to the firefox's slowness to render the page (scrolling a longer thread is often pain for me). I'd like to ask you. Do you use some client like e.g. mutt / heirloom mailx / some plan9 client, and find its utility superior to a web-based way? Do you e.g. use imap to connect to gmail and read mail? I wonder if one can use such thin clients and not loose to much of comfort / lucity / clarity / ease of use. What do you generally consider the 'sucklest' way of reading mail? (except for not reading it...) Thank you! Ruda (I at least want to e.g. know, that using a web-client, although it is a pain, is probably the way to go, and that I should perhaps have a look for a quicker / simpler browser...)
Re: [9fans] mail client; general question web vs command
Acme has Mail. It doesn't do threading like mutt or anything, but it works.
Re: [9fans] mail client; general question web vs command
I prefer gmail's basic html view. It's working reliably, because it's not maintained any more: http://mail.google.com/mail/h/
