Now I'm even more confused than normal. cpu: can't dial: plan9.lanl.gov:
The operation completed successfully.

This is a Windows error message?

  this exact error message is in the fortunes file.
 
 
  oh well, that explains that: obviously the rio start-up on the pi runs

  That is precisely what is happening.  The startup script Steve Simon

  runs his logwin script, which looks like this:
 
  #!/bin/rc
 
  fortune
  calendar -y
  news
  echo

  ...now compare Mats' output:

It was actually the output of fortune.

Well, to clarify, in the old days, if a Windows function call failed, you'd
call GetLastError to get a numerical error code, and FormatMessage to get a
string describing the error, So if the error code was 0, meaning that the
windows call succeeded, FormatMessage would return The operation completed
successfully. Obviously that's completely stupid.
