perhaps it's a confusion over cwd when you cpu to another machine? supermic% pwd /usr/fst supermic% cpu -h rpi rpi% pwd /usr/fst rpi% since typically everything is served by fs, it is all the same content. the local namespace is exported by the local cpu and the far-end cpu mounts it on /mnt/term. e.g. rpi% devsysname='/dev/sysname' for (i in `{seq 3}) { echo $devsysname ' = ' `{cat $devsysname} devsysname='/mnt/term'^$devsysname } /dev/sysname = rpi /mnt/term/dev/sysname = supermic /mnt/term/mnt/term/dev/sysname = dell rpi%
