All you should have on a fast lan is a fileserver. But: 1. the plan9 terminal must configure the network before it connects to the auth server either through dhcp or through a static configuration in the boot configuration 2. somewhere in the setup of the terminal or the auth server you have to use a hostname that goes into the nvram, that can be reached at boot time. I can't remember where it was, but it was one of my bigger struggles with the plan9 setup. > Hi! > > I'm trying to setup my first multi-host Plan 9 system. > I was thinking about running file server/auth server on a VPS so that > I can access it from anywhere. > > I configured cpu service on my VPS and I can connect to it via > drawterm.
