A nice feature would be the option to use a file descriptor rather
than a symbolic name. This could take the form fd:X where X is some
number. This allows for selected access delegation (consider:
SERVERS_SOCKET_PFINET=fd:3 prog 3</path/to/my/pfinet) and removes a naming issue. See section 3.4 of the critique [1] for an example of the problems that can arise through the use of symbolic names.
I read the section. I am not quite clear about the storage of a file's translator attributes (I presume that a translator can not be associated with a file node via other ways than the file_set_translater
interface), but I think it should be the responsibilty of filesystem servers to replace the translator path for a chroot process (in file_set_translater and file_get_translator).
