I ran a standalone P9 cpu/auth/kfs installation booted as 'andrey' for a year in 2000-2001. just to make sure, I rebooted one of my servers with my authid (I have no special privileges on the system and am not a member of any groups) and I'm typing this having drawterm-ed to it: plan9-2% ps andrey 1 0:00 0:00 92K Await init andrey 2 0:59 0:00 0K Wakeme genrandom andrey 3 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme alarm andrey 4 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme rxmitproc andrey 6 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme etherread4 andrey 7 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme recvarpproc andrey 8 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme etherread6 andrey 9 0:00 0:00 164K Sleep ipconfig andrey 11 0:00 0:00 0K Wakeme #I0tcpack andrey 12 0:00 0:00 268K Pread factotum andrey 13 0:00 0:00 0K Idle pager andrey 24 0:00 0:00 164K Sleep ipconfig andrey 27 0:00 0:00 172K Pread cs andrey 31 0:00 0:00 304K Pread dns andrey 40 0:00 0:00 92K Sleep timesync so, there. I can cpu out, I can drawterm and cpu in. with more users it just gets a bit more tricky because you can get their passwords in plain text from keyfs. remember -- there's no superuser in plan9, bootes is just another username that sounds funny when you say it out loud :) andrey
