Nawin

Nawin is a .NET 9 implementation of 9P2000 (clients, servers, authentication, CPU remote shell) at /home/matt/Git/Nawin. Run tools with dotnet run --project Nawin.<Project> -- ...; pass --help to any project for its full CLI.

Projects (quick-ref)

Project Purpose Default port
Nawin.Cli Interactive 9P client (ls, cat, stat, cp, mkdir, rm, mount, shell) connects to 564
Nawin.Serve Serve local dirs over 9P (U9FS replacement) 564
Nawin.Cpu CPU client — remote shell with namespace export 17010
Nawin.CpuServer Accept inbound CPU connections 17010
Nawin.Auth Auth server (p9sk1/dp9ik); also adduser/listusers 567
Nawin.Jerq Graphics app with /dev/draw export —

Mounting: Nawin.Cli mount uses FUSE on Linux (-f runs foreground) and ProjFS on Windows.

Auth protocols

  • none — trusted networks.
  • simple:user:pass — plaintext username/password, simple setups.
  • p9sk1 — DES-based, original Plan 9.
  • dp9ik — ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2, modern 9front.

Ports and privilege

Port 564 (9P) requires root. Prefer a high port (e.g. -p 5640) to avoid it. When you must use 564 under sudo, dotnet is not on root's PATH — use sudo $(which dotnet) run ... or sudo env "PATH=$PATH" dotnet run .... Alternatively grant the published binary the capability: sudo setcap 'capnetbind_service=+ep' <path-to-publish>/Nawin.Serve.

The local auth server listens on port 17019 (not the default 567). It runs as the nawin-auth systemd service:

sudo systemctl restart nawin-auth && sleep 2 && systemctl status nawin-auth 2>&1 | head -15

Examples (one-liners)

  • Serve a directory: dotnet run --project Nawin.Serve -- -p 5640 .
  • Serve with auth: dotnet run --project Nawin.Serve -- -p 5640 --auth simple:matt:secret /home/matt/share
  • List a 9front server: dotnet run --project Nawin.Cli -- -H 9front.local -u glenda -p password -a dp9ik ls /
  • Remote shell: dotnet run --project Nawin.Cpu -- --host 9front.local -u glenda -P secret --protocol dp9ik "cat /dev/sysname"
  • Mount (Linux): dotnet run --project Nawin.Cli -- -H 9front.local -u glenda -a dp9ik mount -f /mnt/9front

Full CLI for any tool via --help.

Testing with 9front

Start the local 9front VM (barn):

/opt/isos/9front.sh

9front source is at /mnt/ when /opt/isos/9front-11321.amd64.iso is mounted.

CPU into the local 9front via the local auth server (p9sk1 on 17019):

dotnet run --project Nawin.Cpu -- --host localhost --port 17019 --user glenda --password test1234 --protocol p9sk1 "command"
