Yeah, previous discussions usually involved using that at least in some
way. Using it as-is I thought had the problem that you could only run
one, on a predefined port. Or if you can run multiple ones on any port,
how do you know which one corresponds to the AFS mount you want?

I just thought using a unix socket would be easier for that (I thought
that was your idea from eakc, but I may be confusing things). But it
could also sorta work to just assume there's only one, or just have a
magic file that said what localhost port to use or something.

Also note that rmtsysd I believe is ifdef'd out in the ukernel afsd
stuff, since last time I looked at it I think it wasn't compiling for
some reason. Assuming it still doesn't work out of the box, that's
another thing someone's going to need to look at to get this working.
