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