I’ve found, dusted off, and make `osxsnarf` work. It is a simple 9p-based service that publishes the Mac OS X clipboard, and it can be forwarded to other systems using `9 import` or ssh’s Unix socket forwarding.

My mappings for copy and paste with the native clipboard now work when I’m ssh’d into my dev server!
