You don't need an auth server if all you're going to talk to are Unix systems and our sources machine. You will be able to ssh, telnet, ftp to unix systems. You can see their file systems by running u9fs on them. You don't need a complete plan9 network. --upas-xmrissxmlmdplxhnxllcsxszvi Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Mon Jun 10 06:18:25 EDT 2002 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Mon Jun 10 06:18:24 EDT 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.20.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 8907219A17; Mon, 10 Jun 2002 06:18:20 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from mercury.bath.ac.uk (mercury.bath.ac.uk [138.38.32.81]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 90E9A19A02 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Mon, 10 Jun 2002 06:17:57 -0400 (EDT) Received: from news by mercury.bath.ac.uk with local (Exim 3.12 #1) id 17HLx0-0000th-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Mon, 10 Jun 2002 10:59:02 +0100 Received: from GATEWAY by bath.ac.uk with netnews for 9fans@cse.psu.edu (9fans@cse.psu.edu) To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu From: Gabriel Diaz Lopez de la Llave Message-ID: Organization: http://groups.google.com/ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit References: <1426d7f5379b3e7984924e66295c2385@plan9.bell-labs.com> Subject: Re: [9fans] cpu server/terminal combination Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 09:57:05 GMT rsc@plan9.bell-labs.com (Russ Cox) wrote in message news:<1426d7f5379b3e7984924e66295c2385@plan9.bell-labs.com>... > You really can't run a standalone cpu server/terminal > and log in as a different person than the cpu host owner.

I can't use Plan9 for standalone workstation?. How to live with a plan9 workstation in a unix world? (without modify unix boxes) Well, i suppose i need to buy some computers then. And make a complete plan9 netkwork. PD: Nemo mi ingles-madrile€o me delata :) No tendras el kernel comentado en espa€ol verdad :? --upas-xmrissxmlmdplxhnxllcsxszvi--
