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

`users default' adds a few more users, and in `allow' mode
you can attach from a terminal without an auth server
and set things up as you like.

>>bootp functionality resides only in the auth server.

any machine can run it, although it's normally run by a cpu server.
that needn't be an auth server as well, but probably would be for small
installations.  at home, i boot my Indigo cpu/auth server from its
local disc, using /sys/src/boot/indigo; at work, i boot an Indy cpu
server using the Indy's normal boot support, from a file /9indycpu
on the Indy's EFS root partition.  they prompt for the IP data.
both machines then run the bootp and tftp services to
boot my (our) PC terminals.
