133Our current recommendation is to use Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com/nferno/index.html) 135Protocol specifications are maintained on github:
134as the 9p server. You can start a 9p server under Inferno by issuing the 136http://ericvh.github.com/9p-rfc/
135following command:
136 ; styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export '#U*'
137 137
138The -A specifies an unauthenticated export. The 564 is the port # (you may 1389p client and server implementations are listed on
139have to choose a higher port number if running as a normal user). The '#U*' 139http://9p.cat-v.org/implementations
140specifies exporting the root of the Linux name space. You may specify a
141subset of the namespace by extending the path: '#U*'/tmp would just export
142/tmp. For more information, see the Inferno manual pages covering styxlisten
143and export.

145A Linux version of the 9p server is now maintained under the npfs project 141A 9p2000.L server is being developed by LLNL and can be found

147maintained version is the single-threaded version of the server (named spfs)
