I enter one, and it goes through authid, authdom, secstore and password prompts, then it dumps me off into kdumpland "ktrace /kernel/path 0x60806f34 0x6095cf30 0x6095cf6d # pc, sp, linkion refused" It was pretty easy to get it this far. I'm just wondering if I have my filesystem server set up the way I originally thought, and if there is a way to do some basic test of that. Example, can I attach an Inferno OS to my Plan 9 to validate if other Plan 9 instances *should* work. Dave > > bon appitit. > > - julia child > >
