Hi, sorry if this is off-topic question but I really need some advice and thought that somebody on this list might help me out. I am looking for a topic for senior thesis and came up with an idea of a file sharing tool, something like nfs which would have the following properties: * run as a userland process without root privileges * allow different sharing modes (e.g. async, locks, cvs/coda-style with merging, may be something else) * support for ACLs * support for multiple daemons on the same host, i.e. if two users want to share their files at the same time their servers will cooperate Of course I am thinking of implementing it on FreeBSD (though as user process it should not depend on OS/kernel) I would really appreciate any feedback on that idea... is this complete bs? did someone do it already? is it worth trying? tia, mk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
