After the file server comes up, but before the authentication server is
created I understand:

  1. "none" is the only user the file server will recognize

  2. An indy r4400 cannot be booted from the file server using bootp because
bootp functionality resides only in the auth server.


 In the statement in 'Documents' saying r 4000 (how about r4400?) is
supported as  a terminal, 'supported' means with the aid of two other
machines, a file server  and an cpu&authentication server.


  Comments/suggestions on these understandings
  much appreciated
 Tom west
