(19:17:40) erdoor: how do I start a login prompt in hosted inferno?

(19:35:34) leetspete: erdoor: From emu, 'wm/wm wm/logon [-u $username]'
(19:38:38) erdoor: leetspete: using wm/wm wm/logon every user has the same permissions
(19:39:23) erdoor: this is because the uid of the emu process does not change in the host environment
(19:39:25) leetspete: Hosted Inferno has to be root to change logon.
(19:39:30) leetspete: Right.
(19:39:56) leetspete: For the hosted user.
(19:40:10) erdoor: leetspete: what if I'm running inferno under windows?
(19:40:46) erdoor: I'm using an administrator account, which is kinda like root in unix-like operating systems
(19:40:57) leetspete: erdoor: That's trickier, then, I think.
(19:43:01) perdix left the room (quit: Remote host closed the connection).
(19:44:00) leetspete: I seem to recall reading something about this.  Let me try to dig it up...  (When trying to figure out auth, which turned out to be just a bad build due to me fiddling with gcc flags, I think I read every document about users in Inferno that is available on the web.)
(19:44:29) erdoor: ok
(19:47:55) Kumul [~Kumul@cvx-ppp-66-50-52-16.coqui.net] entered the room.
(19:48:01) Kumul left the room ("gone").
(20:02:39) leetspete: erdoor: It's just the file permissions on the host that you're concerned about, right?  Or running commands through 'os'?
(20:04:28) erdoor: file permissions
(20:06:37) leetspete: Hm.  You've played with runas, right?  Does it actually give you a different Windows username?
(20:06:58) leetspete: runas other-user os $whatever_windows_command_gives_you_the_username
(20:08:24) leetspete: Or, like, runas $other_user touch /tmp/asdf; ls -l /tmp/asdf
(20:17:45) erdoor: rubas: cannot open /dev/user
(20:17:59) erdoor: runas: cannot open /dev/user: permission denied
(20:18:20) erdoor: this happens if I try  "runas guest ls" from a shell
(20:18:42) erdoor: "guest" is an user I have set up in the windows machine
(20:19:06) leetspete: Wonder if that's just busted on Windows.  Inferno was written when Windows was usually just a single-user OS, I think.
(20:20:56) leetspete: I wonder, though.  It seems like that ought to work.
(20:21:20) erdoor: how does ki
(20:22:20) leetspete: Maybe try the mailing list.  I'll respond when I get home from work and can poke at Windows.
(20:22:42) leetspete: Or someone else might already know and beat me to it. :)
