From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:10:07 -1000 From: Tim Newsham To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [9fans] newbie question #2 Topicbox-Message-UUID: c346c5aa-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 (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.
