A (standalone) terminal is just a single standalone machine.
A CPU server is a machine where users log in and work on.
Read /sys/doc/9.ps ;)

Yes, you can only log in as Glenda.
See http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/wiki/admin for creating more
users.
No, Glenda is not root, the concept of a superuser is foreign to Plan 9.
All direct hardware access is restricted to the so-called hostowner.
On terminals the hostowner is whoever logged in.
On CPU servers the hostowner is specified as a configuration option, the
default is glenda.
There are two groups, sys and adm, which define users with elevated
privileges.
Users in sys may change system files and users in adm may change
authentication data.
(This is just because sys is the group of all system files and adm is
the group of /adm)
