setupsigner, setupuser, startclient, startserver - quick setup network utilities

setupsigner
setupuser

startclient
startserver

Description

These utilities provide quick setup for network operations.

setupsigner

The setupsigner command creates a signerkey file for the current machine, and allows creation of passwords for one or more users. After the signer is set up, lib/srv is started to wait for client requests.

setupuser

The setupuser command creates a directory in /usr for the current user (/dev/user) and copies the window manager setup files from /usr/inferno. The command creates a keyring directory and contacts a signer to get a certificate.


Note: If an Inferno host is being set up in loopback mode, the setupsigner command must be run before the setupuser command.

startclient

The startclient command is equivalent to:

bind -a '#I' /net
lib/cs

startserver

The startserver command is equivalent to:

lib/srv
