I think you are asking how to make a change to the global
system namespace. The namespace is built from a combination
of /rc/bin/termrc, /rc/bin/cpurc and /lib/namspace. Modifications
to the two scripts cpurc and termrc will be visible in the
system namespace (bootes) and available to the listeners.
Modifications to /lib/namespace affect processes which call
newns(2) to establish a new namspace (cpu, telnet etc.).

I have no idea what the first part of your question is asking.
