My /etc/portal.conf has: tcplisten/ tcplisten tcplisten/ tcp/ tcp tcp/ fs/ file fs/ pipe/ pipe foo/ exec ./bar bar baz the first 3 are known to work (at least, they USED to when I was testing/developing portals), the last 2 don't. (or at least the pipes doesn't work, haven't been able to contrive a test for the exec case). I'm not even 100% sure what the author was trying to do with the ``pipe'' implimentation. The IDEAL case would allow you to plug in your own modules to extend the filesystem, but to do that without opening up MASSIVE security holes would be ``interesting'' to say the least. As it is the ``exec'' case may be left unimplimented (if it isn't already) for that very reason. > Since I did not test it, do the portals work, and from which OS version > onwards? Portals have worked to a greater or lesser extent since (at least) 2.0.5-RELEASE, probably also (to a lesser extent) in 2.0-RELEASE. Nothing has changed in the portals system for a while now as I haven't had the time of late (although I should try to get back to it sometime, or help someone else who has the time) > Shall we move there, then?
