[9fans] plumbopen too smart?

[Tim Newsham]

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?

If you feel this way, don't read the code for the cpu command.

Don't hit him too hard :).  He just did a port to Sparc64.

It's probably my fault.  I started this whole discussion as a newbie
playing around with cpu and looking at what's going on with plumber
and asking too many questions.

Yeah, heaven forbid you question the gods sitting on the high
mount.  WTF *were* you thinking?
