We have chown because the syscall i

Right!!!
BTW, nothing prevents you from collecting as much infos as possible
from the Hurd servers (e.g. through libps) and present them
in a hurdisch /proc-like FS. This

None of the special translators like /hurd/symlink as li
Hi,
I've seen that some time ago (Dec. `99) someone asked about eventually
implementing a procfs translator that would do something close to what Linux
does. It seems also that Neal Walfield started to implement a procfs
tanslator. What is now the status? What does it perform?
I'm also wondering
