Trust as in uptime or trust as in mitm etc?
All 9p can be over Ssl, authorisation server is not the same machine as the file server / compute server.
This is worse than ssh how?
- mjevans 10y agoI had no idea it supported SSL (I assume modern versions TLS?), that actually is more forward thinking then I had supposed was involved given it's age.
- SixSigma 10y agoYou can wrap any connection in SSL, no extra code required. Single point of update / failure. Sigh Plan9 makes the impossible simple, every user I know laments going back to Unixes. "No problem, I'll just.... Oh, not plan9"
- h3ro 10y agoThis is not specific to plan9. SSL sucks on all systems.
- theoh 10y agoI think the parent comment was actually referring to the flexibility and ease of tunneling connections/services through SSL on Plan 9 versus on unices. It's the generality of the way Plan 9 handles it (everything is a file) that makes life easy.
- h3ro 10y agoActually, the opposite is the case. SSL is not forward in any way. That's why in the post above you can find cinap hinting towards the much more clean alternative he implemented for the 9front specific protocols, without any need of horrible certificates.
