erik, You're reply and some reflection convinced me that my first approach is just wrong. I don't understand the next-to-last paragraph though. I tried creating gktbl and making the change you suggest to text.c, and it seems to work. Why does isalpharune() need changing? Greg i'm pretty sure

Has anyone here successfully set up nfsserver to share Plan 9 files with Unix machines? The examples given in the man pages are rather... opaque. All I want to do is share one directory tree (/lib/music, in particular) with a number of independent Linux laptops and workstations. I'm looking into

I'm looking into NFS because it seems that it has about the lowest barrier to entry of all the possible file-sharing methods. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I use aquarela to serve cifs to windows boxen but NFS seems preferable given your clients are Linux. -Steve

none does not (normally) give you read-only access; if something is world-writable, none will be able to write it. but getting read-only is pretty easy; see exportfs(4) and the files which use it in /rc/bin/service. from emory, i'd say exec /bin/exportfs -Rr /lib/music would do what you want.

for the from anywhere part, just use .+ as the host regexp. the anyone part also doesn't really apply: the files don't affect who can connect or read things, just what the mapping is done as (iirc, world readable is still world readable). if you just want to not bother with the passwd and group
