# kamid -- 9p file server daemon
kamid is a FREE, easy-to-use and portable implementation of a 9p file
server daemon for UNIX-like systems.
## Building
kamid depends on libtls, libevent and yacc/GNU bison. To build from a
release tarball:
./configure
make
sudo make install # eventually
to build from a git checkout:
./bootstrap
./configure
make
## Usage
In order to run, a `_kamid` user must exists. The home directory of
`_kamid` should be `/var/empty` or similar. A configuration file is
also needed. kamid must be started with root privileges.
A sample configuration file:
```
pki localhost cert "/path/to/localhost.crt"
pki localhost key "/path/to/localhost.key"
table users { "SHA256:..." => "op" }
# should be <users> but there's currently a bug in the parser so...
listen on localhost port 1337 tls pki localhost auth < users >
```
## Testing
`ninepscript` is a custom DSL used to tests kamid. It's a fairly
simple scripting language built to simulate various scenarios.
## License
kamid is released under a BSD-like license. The bulk of the code is
under the ISC license, but some file are BSD2 or BSD3.
