I think I see how to do this using rc. I'm not sure about a restart after a power restoration. Do I have to modify the kernel to provide for a fixed user and root, instead of the usual login? Or, is there an easier solution? Thanks, -Tom [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 662 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

If I understand you correctly, you are running a standalone terminal with the pcf kernel. Then, you can set variables "nobootprompt" and "user" in you plan9.ini. For example: nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fossil user=glenda -- David du Colombier ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
