Xtian, You are missing alot of things needed to give you a text login prompt on the workstation. Running bash in runlevel 3 is strictly for diagnosis usage. You changed it to also run in runlevel 4 and 5, but still it is only for diagnostic usage. You have root permissions at that point, which means you also have root permissions on the NFS mounted filesystem. If you want to get a login prompt, you need things like the 'login' program. most likely, you need some libraries too, and probably some PAM stuff. If you really want to go through the journey, then you should just do exactly what a normal linux system would do. Take a look at the /etc/inittab file on your linux server, you'll see that /sbin/mingetty is spawned for the ttys, so you need mingetty. That should be a good starting point. Also, to help you figure this stuff out, you'll want strace and ldd, to help you figure out why things aren't working.
