I'm not sure about the 9gridchan images in particular, but if you're
trying to connect from another Plan 9 machine, *in general*, you want
to add some stuff to /lib/ndb/local. If your cpu/auth server is called
gridserver, the computer you want to connect *from* should have
entries something like this:

auth=gridserver authdom=yourauthdomain

sys=gridserver dom=gridserver.yourauthdomain ip=<its IP>


Then you can do cpu -h gridserver.

Hope this helps
