[9fans] venti conf

2009-03-10 Thread hugo rivera
Hello, I am a little confused about setting up venti (on linux). I followed the instructions found on the wiki, and venti is up. But now I am lost; as far as I understood (from the man pages) I have to run vac every time I want to backup something and then unvac it every time I want to recover it,

You want to look at vbackup - that's what I'm using for my systems now. Here's the script I use on my Linux system, at some point I may write up something a bit more comprehensive about how to set this up, but you can figure most of it out by looking at the man pages and code if necessary.

[9fans] factotum question

2009-03-10 Thread David Leimbach
Factotum is some guy in the room that, even though you have the phone, you keep asking what to say next on the line to get authentication to happen. Is this a bad analogy? Factotum is available on the client side during authentication via a library we can use to talk to it. When we get an "afd" w

[9fans] keyboard map for a czech keyboard

Hello, I'd like to teach my plan9 read my Czech keyboard. But I don't know exactly what I have to change. I wonder if it's enough to modify e.g. /sys/lib/kbmap/us, save it to e.g. /sys/lib/kbmap/qwerty_cz and then use kbmap(1) command to switch to it. If so, I'd need to know more exactly what the
