True.  Added to the man page.

My CPU server is successfully serving as a 
serial console server for two Linux boxes
(thus resulting in some perplexity on behalf
of their owners, but it *was* the easiest
solution).

What's not working is "C consolename" from
my terminal.  After poking around and trying
various things, I think the issue is that
/lib/namespace.$sysname for the CPU server
should contain

  mount /srv/consoles /mnt/consoles

which does in fact appear to do the trick.

Is this the "right" way?  Should I submit
a man page patch?
