Topicbox-Message-UUID: 2f0f1e90-eace-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 We were chatting on irc and trying to figure out what was going on while cpu'ing in to another machine, when we ran across this unexpected behavior: The plumbopen function will try to open /mnt/term/mnt/plumb if it cannot find /mnt/plumb. This was a little startling and seems a little un-plan9-like. If the user wants to use his plumber while connecting to a remote machine, wouldn't it be preferable to require him to bind /mnt/term/mnt/plumb on /mnt/plumb himself in his profile? Tim N.
