authenticated server example

[Google Code Exporter]

I'm starting to use go9p for a project, but i will need authenticated (and 
preferrably encrypted) access, so it would be nice to have an authenticated 
example of any of the srv/examples.

I'll try to hack one up, but i'm not sure what I need to do...

Are you planning to use both the go9p server and client for your project?

Modified the code and added some examples on how to use the client and the 
server over TLS. See p/clnt/examples/tls.go and p/srv/examples/tlsramfs.go.

oh nice! thank you.
No, I don't think i will need the client (at least in the begginning) as long 
as I can mount the filesystem remotely using the linux 9p driver or 9pfuse.

You can't mount it directly with the linux 9p driver, it doesn't support SSL. I 
don't know if you can do it with 9pfuse.

yep, that's what I was afraid of. Authentication should work across 
implementations (that support auth), though, right? So plan9, linux and go9p? 
I'm asking because i know the inferno authentication system isn't compatible 
with the plan9 one.
Also, would it be complicated to add authentication support to the tls example?
It seems to me like the Ramfs would need to implement the Auth interface (here

Thanks again
