you need to set-up a standalone auth/cpu server.  see the wiki
documentation linked to from the Plan 9 home page at bell-labs

you'll probably run into problems since the wiki is rather outdated (I
promised to update it, but my installation is divergent from what the
latest CD has (still -fl kernels for example) and I don't have an
extra machine to go through the configuration from start and document
it)...

OK, I've seen a lot about drawterm in the mail archives, but perhaps
I'm just too stupid to make it work, so....

Here I am. I just installed plan9 on a single machine using the basic
fossil install. I generally log in as glenda, though she has  no password.
I'd like to be able to ssh or drawterm from my piece o' junk XP machine
at work. How do I do it?

I downloaded drawterm to a windows machine at home, but if I drawterm


Certainly RTFM type responses are fine, as long as they point to the
appropriate FM. I'm not that thin skinned.

Thanks.

[boyd, rounin]

this:

    "C:\Documents and Settings\boyd\Mes
documents\plan9r4\drawterm-win.exe" -a auth.sdgm.net -c cpu.sdgm.net -d
"c:/Documents and Settings/boyd/Mes documents/plan9r4"

does it on windoze, modulo your install directories.

works from paris and sydney (sdgm.net is in new york).
