nearly all of that was in the original source.  it's mainly useful on networks
such as most of mine where a plan 9 cpu server provides dhcp for the network
but must configure its network interface somehow, and PCs haven't
got a standard way of putting parameters in NVRAM (when they've got NVRAM).
the arguments are passed to /sys/src/9/boot and the loader doesn't
do much more than preserve them for /boot.
i added two lines to bootip.c to set the file server address.

[9fans] Auth & cron

[Fco. J. Ballesteros]

Regarding the discussion before about auth & cron, 
what about using a cpu server with a cron process running per user w/
cron entries?  

What's wrong w/ this approach?

Perhaps I'm missing something.
