"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.
