the kernel starts factotum for the hostowner but if you
drawterm in you need to start your own factotum.  generally
this is done from $home/lib/profile.  i think glenda's profile is
missing this case.  this is what i have

[...]
case cpu
	if (test -e /mnt/term/mnt/wsys) {
		# rio already running
		wsys = /mnt/term^`{cat /mnt/term/env/wsys}
		bind -a /mnt/term/mnt/wsys /dev
		if(test -f /mnt/term/dev/label)
			echo -n $sysname > /mnt/term/dev/label
		prompt=($sysname^'; ') ; fn $sysname {}
	}
	bind /mnt/term/dev/cons /dev/cons
	bind /mnt/term/dev/consctl /dev/consctl
	bind -a /mnt/term/dev /dev
	news
	if (! test -e /mnt/term/mnt/wsys) {
		# cpu call from drawterm
		plumber
		auth/factotum
		exec rio
	}
}
