But the store has some identifier which can go into mtab, even if it is not a simple filename. Actually having all the mount points/translated nodes handy is much more useful. If you know them, the other parameters are just a showtrans (or equivalent C call) away. That I'm still not able to get, though: is it possible for a translator to inquire which node it has been attached to? > Look in <hurd/paths.h> and you will find the _SERVERS_PASSWORD macro. > You can then use that and the file_name_lookup function found in > <hurd.h> to get a send right to the password server: Very good! I'll give it another whirl soon. -- Robbe
