Preface: I'm complete newbie in Plan9.
So, where I can look for docs about:
* howto set up user athentification? I prefer to don't have unauthorized
access to the system.
* howto set up disk space for file server running Plan9? What program
one must to use?
* howto understand namespace? Is it chroot or jail analogue?
* howto set up cpu, file server and terminal in one box? I haven't
enough hardware to run these on separate boxes, for now.
* howto interconnect Plan9 with UNIX/Linux systems via tcp/ip network?
* is it good idea to use GNU environment in Plan9? Can I have graphical
interface - GNOME, XFCE et al. in Plan9 with X11?
Thanks a lot, and sorry my bad English.

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/index.html has all the papers.
You can also try the wiki
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/plan_9_wiki/index.html
Whilst some aspects of the GNU/X11 environment are available
for Plan 9 the support is poor. If your first thought is "where
is GNOME", then you need to read the papers. Plan 9 is not
Unix, and is trying to leave the 1970's behind. Personally
speaking, GNOME on Unix is a bad idea, GNOME on Plan 9
doubly so.
