First off, I've managed to connect to plan9 using drawterm from my powerbook. I followed the instructions from http://www.cs.bell- labs.com/wiki/plan9/Drawterm_to_your_terminal/diff.html which worked very well - I do have a query though, it seems to imply that you have to execute "echo 'key user=glenda dom=drawterm.test proto=p9sk1 ! password=loginpassword' > /mnt/factotum/ctl" each time you reboot the machine - is this true, or is this only required on the first use? Also, does anyone use drawterm on OSX? I can't find the del key to interrupt executing programs. I'm also trying to look at my plan9.ini file, after searching the internet, I have discovered that it's on a separate partition which can be accessed using the 9fat: command, executing this command though gives the error message: "mount: can't open /srv/dos: '/srv/ dos' permission denied" - help?!? One final question, what resources are there to learn about development under plan9 - I've found bits & pieces, but I'd like to know what is available.
