You can run login from the cpu server if you just set 'service=adfadsf'.
However, I'm still utterly confused.  If you are running a standalone
work station, just boot 9pcdisk instead of 9pccpudisk and it'll just
prompt you for user name when it starts.  It should no nothing about
bootes.

well, i think that's the command i need, but i cannot run it from cpu
server.

I want to do a login on cpurc and then start rio and all
term stuff as the user i logged, not as bootes.

i want to make a "portable and not ever networked" plan9 standalone
workstation (for my laptop, that changes its location almost every
day).

thanks

PD (off-topic): I need documentation about network programming in
plan9 (i need some tools like a general packet sniffer, custom packet
generation program, etc) what man's pages or paper cover this stuff?
