by cpuing in as bootes. from drawterm it is legal
to cpu -h $cpuserver -u bootes.

if you have more than a trivial number of machines,
a serial console server is a good idea. that makes this
sort of thing a little easier.

Couldn't consolefs be rigged to allow certain named users (or a group) to do things like what he's asking for?

why would rigging be involved? it naturally does that.
when i'm doing kernel debugging, this is a pretty natural
way to go:

C victim
victim# ^P
cpu0: exiting
....

I thought so. I just said "rigging" because I didn't remember how to get it set up. :)

the trick of using ^T^Tr on terminals and ^P on
cpu servers is slick!
