Regarding Plan 9 <-> Unix as far as file systems, Plan 9 has an NFS server that Unix systems may use to mount Plan 9 file systems. It works pretty well. We had someone working almost exclusively over the NFS server two summers ago. U9fs is a 9P server that Plan 9 systems may use to mount Unix file systems. It too works pretty well. As I type this, I have two such file systems mounted in my namespace. I'm also booting a Plan 9 box entirely over an ethernet with a FreeBSD machine serving as both file and authentication server. I'm using u9fs (rewritten for 9P2000 but pretty much the same) for file service and a port of auth.srv for authentication. It works. Neither is blazingly fast, but that's not the goal. They work well for providing interoperability. The amazing thing is how simple they are. 1527 3657 27203 u9fs/u9fs.c 326 792 6457 9auth/9authsrv.c The rest is mostly supporting routines pulled in from the Plan 9 C library, like doprint and convM2S. That's a full file server in 1500 lines of code, and an authentication server in 300. The reason this works is that 9P is so simple. If you want to drive the point home, put up the rot13fs below (inspired by a French intro to Plan 9 that appeared a few years ago; I'd credit further except not knowing French, I got by reading only the examples). The whole guts of the filter is right here: while(n=sizeof buf, getS(rd, buf, &f, &n) == nil){ if(f.type == Ropen) isdir[f.fid] = f.qid.path&CHDIR; if((f.type == Twrite || f.type == Rread) && !isdir[f.fid]) rot13(f.data, f.count); n = convS2M(&f, wbuf); write(wr, wbuf, n); } and that's it. 9P is simple. Compare this with the hoops being jumped through to do encrypted file systems on Unix by having fake NFS servers or kernel vnode-layer replacements or what-have-you. Russ #include <u.h> #include <libc.h> #include <auth.h> #include <fcall.h> #include <ctype.h> void rot13(char *p, int n) { char *ep; for(ep=p+n; p<ep; p++) if(isalpha(*p)) if(tolower(*p) <= 'm') *p += 13; else *p -= 13; } int isdir[65536]; void filter(int rd, int wr) { char buf[MAXMSG+MAXFDATA], wbuf[MAXMSG+MAXFDATA]; Fcall f; long n; while(n=sizeof buf, getS(rd, buf, &f, &n) == nil){ if(f.type == Ropen) isdir[f.fid] = f.qid.path&CHDIR; if((f.type == Twrite || f.type == Rread) && !isdir[f.fid]) rot13(f.data, f.count); n = convS2M(&f, wbuf); write(wr, wbuf, n); } postnote(PNGROUP, getpid(), "die"); } void main(int argc, char **argv) { int sfd, p[2]; rfork(RFNOTEG); if(argc != 1+2){ fprint(2, "usage: rot13fs service-in mountpoint\n"); exits("usage"); } if((sfd = open(argv[1], ORDWR)) < 0) sysfatal("cannot open %s: %r\n", argv[1]); if(pipe(p) < 0) sysfatal("pipe fails: %r\n"); switch(rfork(RFNAMEG|RFPROC|RFFDG|RFMEM)){ case -1: sysfatal("rfork fails: %r\n"); case 0: close(p[0]); switch(fork()){ case -1: sysfatal("rfork fails: %r\n"); case 0: filter(sfd, p[1]); break; default: filter(p[1], sfd); break; } _exits(0); default: close(p[1]); if(amount(p[0], argv[2], MREPL, "") < 0) sysfatal("mount fails: %r\n"); exits(0); } }

SportsHollywood.com Newsletter For the week of Wednesday, February 7, 2000 "It is a popular illness." --International Olympic Committee (IOC) medical chief Alexandre de Merode on the high numbers of top-class competitors taking steroid-based drugs for asthma at Olympics (six times greater than at last year's Sydney Games). STARTING LINE Shaquille O'Neal will miss the NBA All-Star game because of a sore foot. The L.A. center says, "Hopefully I can come back soon. I'm a big 18-wheeler and one of my wheels ain't working, which means I can't go. But I'm getting air in the tire."... ... How about fixing the drive train on the free throw mechanism? HOLLYWOOD SPORTS EXCLUSIVE: A report from our Sundance Film Festival Gala and Police Raid in Park City, Utah. A Happy Place Productions and your very own SportsHollywood teamed up to throw one of the most talked-about parties at the festival (and at the police department). You may have even read or heard about this one in the national press (can you say "Temporary Restraining Order?" That's how big it was). It was covered by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to CNN to Tiger Beat... and probably soon on Court TV... But here's what they didn't tell you.... http://www.sportshollywood.com/sundance.html During the New York Knicks' victory over the Heat in Miami, referee Joe Forte ejected singer / songwriter Jimmy Buffett from the stands for using profanity... ... So he got drunk and got screwed - what's new? ... They gotta stop serving Margaritas before the games... NBA Clifford Robinson of the Phoenix Suns was arrested Monday on charges of driving under the influence and marijuana possession... ... No comment from Robinson... just giggling... GOLF John Daly had a 9 on his first hole Saturday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Three holes into the day, he was already 10 over. Only four birdies on his last six holes enabled him to finish with a 79. "It was just weird," he said, shaking his head. "Ten over after three holes..." ... And .08 over later that afternoon... XFL Billing itself as tougher, dirtier and meaner than the NFL, The XFL is started its first season... ... It's so desperate for attention that it won't be long before the XFL employs murderers, rapists and drug addicts... wait -- the NFL already does that... TENNIS I think I've seen enough of Anna Kournikova... well, not really, but how about Jennifer Lopez's butt for a change? http://www.comedyontap.com/dailyhump/annak1.htm THIS WEEK IN SPORTS HISTORY In 2000, Dennis Rodman joined the Dallas Mavericks, paying him about $465,000 for the remainder of the season... ... Plus extra if he would cheerlead as a Maverick Girl, too... George Foster became baseball's first "two million dollar man" today in 1982 when he signed a five year, ten million dollar free agent deal with the New York Mets... ... Ten mil - or as A-Rod calls it -'beer money'... PENALTY BOX "MARK CHMURA, YOU'VE JUST BEEN ACQUITTED OF ASSAULTING A TEENAGER! WHERE ARE YOU HEADED NOW?" One day after being acquitted of sexually assaulting a teen-ager, former Green Bay Packer tight end Mark "Chewy" Chmura broke down in tears as he apologized for his conduct and wished to resume his NFL career. Chmura said he would celebrate his acquittal by going to Disney World before attempting to resume his pro career... ... Great - head right to a place with a lot of teenage girls... For the entire Offensive Line: http://www.sportshollywood.com/shnews.html Joel Blankenship, head football coach at Detroit Murray-Wright High School, faces a police investigation into charges he used a twenty-six-inch long wooden paddle to strike players who got poor grades or broke other school rules. One fifteen-year-old freshman claims he received ten blows with the paddle, and that Blankenship struck him so hard the paddle cracked... ... Now there's a man headed for the XFL... He can spank the cheerleaders... YOU'RE OUT: "He called me a 'rapist' and a 'recluse'. I'm not a recluse." - Mike Tyson, on writer Wallace Matthews The Dumbest Sports Quotes of All Time: http://www.sportshollywood.com/dumbquotes.html EDITORS NOTE: I meant to thank you guys for passing the SportsHollywood newsletter along, the membership is going nuts.

Anything that looks like Spam or a virus gets nuked. I get about 1500 messages a day, and it is no big deal to kill the 20-30 I get in spam.

Dumb and Dumber. FoxNews.com, Tuesday, February 6, 2001 # # Report: Terrorists Using Internet to Plot Moves # # ARLINGTON, Va. - Usama Bin Laden and other Muslim extremists # are using the Internet to plan terrorist activities against the # United States and its allies, USA Today reported Tuesday. # # The paper said weeks of interviews with U.S. law enforcement # officials and other experts disclosed details of how extremists # hide maps and photographs of terrorist targets in sports chat # rooms, on pornographic bulletin boards and other popular Web # sites. # # The report said instructions for terrorist activities also are # posted on the sites, which the officials declined to name. # # "To a greater and greater degree, terrorist groups, including # Hezbollah, Hamas and Bin Laden's al Qaida group, are using # computerized files, e-mail and encryption to support their # operations," CIA Director George Tenet wrote last March to the # Senate Foreign Relations Committee. # # USA Today said the testimony was presented at a closed-door # hearing and made public later. # # Following up on that report, the paper said it learned from # various unnamed officials and investigators that the messages # are scrambled using free encryption programs set up by groups # that advocate privacy on the Internet. # # "It's something the intelligence, law-enforcement and military # communities are really struggling to deal with," Ben Venzke of # the cyberintelligence company iDEFENSE told the paper. # # "The operational details and future targets, in many cases, are # hidden in plain view on the Internet. Only the members of the # terrorist organizations, knowing the hidden signals, are able # to extract the information." ---- Hey, Declan... I just love waiting for doubleclick.net when pulling up Politech pages. Word. Paid. Declan. >From ghoulies and ghosties, longleggety beasties, and things that click slow in the night. ---- Pinky and the Brain just had an episode where he was going to spam the world (actually it was paper mail), and he would take over when promising the mad world to prohibit the practice. His downfall was network-related. First, his infomercial with every keyword jingle caused a phone circuit jammination. Then, everyone flushed their toilets at the same time after the telecast, destroying his water-cooled computer. Pinky did not screw it up this time.
