in plan 9, such a remotely-accessable machine
is called a cpu server.  typically its hostowner
differs from one's own user.  (like unix "root".)
the standard cpu hostowner is bootes.

you have already entered users into fossil's
user database, but read auth(8) on how
to add users to the authentication database.

/sys/doc/auth.ps has more information on
authentication.
