I want to do a login on cpurc and then start rio and all term stuff as the user i logged, not as bootes. i want to make a "portable and not ever networked" plan9 standalone workstation (for my laptop, that changes its location almost every day). thanks PD (off-topic): I need documentation about network programming in plan9 (i need some tools like a general packet sniffer, custom packet generation program, etc) what man's pages or paper cover this stuff?
