It was someone else on the other end, so I don't know the exact error message. Suppose in your "import" command that "plan9" isn't a machine running Plan 9 but another computer that can see the plan9 computer. Can you forward some set of ports to make it work, or are you just out of luck ? In the meantime, I decided to try to achieve the same ends at drawterm using vnc. Disregarding port forwarding, when the Plan 9 and Linux machines are directly on the same subnet with no router between them, I can vnc from Plan 9 to Linux but on Linux I cannot connect a vncviewer to the Plan 9 server. On Plan 9 I start the server with the command "vncs -v". On Linux, xvncviewer prints this and exits (never asked for a password, as it did when I connected from Plan 9 to Linux): VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3) xvncviewer: VNC server closed connection On Plan 9, I see this: 192.168.1.18# vncs -v 192.168.1.18# geometry is 1024x768 server started on display :3 announced in /net/tcp/27 call in /net/tcp/28 [550] 192.168.1.1!4719 /net/tcp/28: handshake server version: RFB 003.003 client version: RFB 003.003 [550] 192.168.1.1!4719 /net/tcp/28: auth vncs: vncchal: auth server protocol botch Nothing seems to be printed in /sys/log/auth. If I run a vnc server on linux, I have to set a password; have I not done the equivalent on Plan 9 ? How do I do it ? Thanks in advance, --Rob
