This guide demonstrates how to set up an instant cpu server for Plan 9. On the plan 9 terminal that will run the cpu server, run: term% auth/factotum term% echo 'key proto=p9sk1 dom=livecd user=glenda !password=password' >/mnt/factotum/ctl term% aux/listen1 -t tcp!*!17010 /bin/cpu -R & Replace password with your actual password. Then, from your client, run drawterm: $ drawterm -u glenda -c 192.168.1.2 -a 192.168.1.2 Replace 192.168.1.2 with your cpu server's actual address.
