i think this is misleading.  while the fs running on the terminal can have
multiple users, it is not true that you can have multiple users using
the cpu resources of a terminal concurrently.

you can have all that and auth if you run a single machine with a cpu
kernel with the downside that if you use the console you must be eve.

since it's easy to get small, cheep, low-power machines, i run a
traditional terminal with a seperate auth and fs.
