You really can't run a standalone cpu server/terminal
and log in as a different person than the cpu host owner.

You'd have to split all the things in the kernel
that are currently owned by the host owner into
things owned by the host owner and things owned
by the current terminal user, and then have a way
to change the current terminal user.

Even if you successfully got the right environment
set up on the path you're trying (you need to start
a new auth/factotum, by the way, to make upas/fs work),
you won't be able to do things like get at /dev/draw,
since it is owned by the host owner.

After all, there aren't solution?. 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 :?
