Hi,
I am trying to logon to 9grid.us:
drawterm -c texas.9grid.us -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com
as recommended.
I get plan9 console in drawterm, but after I enter username it says:
not on local console, won't ask for password
and drawterm exits in about 30 seconds. Nothing is printed on stderr.
I tried to strace: drawterm tries to connect to texas.9grid.us on port
17013 (and this port responds if telnetting to). But
sources.cs.bell-labs.com refuses connection on port 17005 (is this right
port for authentication?).
My attempts are based on the information from www.9grid.us that having a
source account (which I created) is enough to logon.
Is 9grid.us currently unavailable?

It seems like I had some trouble contacting sources.cs.bell-labs.com
last night, but it seems to be working now. Try it again and let me
know if you are still having trouble.

I had similar problem with 9grid.de, and Cristoph kindly pointed me out
to the function in drawterm that checked for locality of the X display.
As this is exactly my situation that X server runs on a separate
computer (i. e. X-terminal), so I added an option to drawterm to bypass
this check. After that I was able to access both 9grids and login, but
it turned out drawterm crashed my X server (the pattern is steady), so
the X-terminal rebooted (and this is good that it is separate from the
main computer). This is definitely a problem on my side.
Just in case, maybe someone had similar troubles with drawterm and
certain old/buggy X servers? Mine is Xfree86 v 3.3.6, S3 Trio64+. If
there are any other combinations that don't work please let me know.

drawterm will happily connect when not running on the local display if
you supply '-n' as an argument at the command line. of course you'll
need a program that can do netkey authentication so you won't have to
transmit your password in plain text, but there are several of those
available on the net.
it's a feature, not a bug.

Interestingly enough, it crashed with 16bpp, but does not with 24bpp.

it may still be safer to type your password over the local
network so that you can get an encrypted cpu connection.

I disabled the feature in my drawterm anyway. It caused trouble in xen.
