76The Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project 76Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno)
77on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs). 77as the 9p server. You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the
78following command:
79 ; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*'
80
81The -A specifies an unauthenticated export. The 564 is the port # (you may
82have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user). The '#U*'
83specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space. You may specify a
84subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export
85/tmp. For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten
86and export.

90more stable single-threaded version of the server (named spfs) available from
91the same CVS repository.
