Subject: [9fans] newbie question #2
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:10:07 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.BSI.4.58.0407191206390.9843@malasada.lava.net> (raw)

(how many newbie questions do I get?  I hope that doesn't count as one).

I setup a server that serves bootp/tftp/auth/fs/cpu.  I then
setup a diskless client.  Most things seem to be in working
order now.  I notice though that if I "cpu" in to the cpu
server from a terminal as myself, I can acme fine, but if
I "cpu" in as "bootes" (the fs owner), I have no /dev/draw
and I can't run acme (or other gui apps).  Why is that?
Shouldn't my /dev/draw from my terminal be preserved in
the namespace of the new shell on the server?  Am I doing
something wrong?  If not, is there a workaround?

(yes, I am aware of "ed", and am comfortable using it when
I have to.  I am more interested in knowing what is going
on here than in getting acme running).

Tim N.
