If you want to mount as a specific user, you can specify the "uname" option of v9fs. See the documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/9p.txt Example: $ mount -t 9p -o tcp,trans=tcp,uname=djc 135.104.24.18 /n/sources If you require authentication, you'll need to authenticate with factotum. Example: $ factotum -n $ srv -a -k user=djc sources.cs.bell-labs.com $ mount -t 9p -o unix,trans=unix,uname=djc $(namespace)/sources.cs.bell-labs.com /n/sources -- David du Colombier
