Configuring the	cpu server for plan 9

First add your user to the adm group. See fossil-p9.

Afterwards, set	your timezone, see timezone-p9.ms.

Next, make sure	to configure your network  information.	 See
ndb-p9.ms.

Now, we	prepare	rc scripts that	must run on system bootup:

term%  mkdir   /cfg/$sysname/	term%	dircp	/cfg/example
/cfg/$sysname/

Now, we	need to	configure networking:

If you have  static  networking	 (eg,  you  have  a  virtual
private	 server), edit /cfg/$sysname/cpurc to uncomment	this
line:

ip/ipconfig  -g	 your-gateway  ether  /net/ether0   your-ip-
address	your-subnet-mask

If you are using wifi and dynamic networking, you  may	need
to add these lines:

bind  -a  '#l1'	 /net  echo  'key  proto=wpapsk	 essid=ESSID
!password='^`{cat    /lib/wpa/ESSID}   >   /mnt/factotum/ctl
aux/wpa	 -2  -s	 'ESSID'   /net/ether1	 ip/ipconfig   ether
/net/ether1

Replace	ESSID and make sure to store the  wifi	password  in
/lib/wpa/ESSID.

Note:  You  may	 also  want   to   copy	  these	  lines	  to
/cfg/$sysname/termrc  and  also	to run the command manually,
because	by default, plan 9 runs	as a  terminal	service.  It
will  not run as a cpu service until the cpu kernel has	been
compiled as described below.

Note: You *must* run ip/ipconfig before	running	ndb/dns	(and
possibly  other	 network services). Otherwise, you might see
errors like:

ndb/dns: can't read my ip address

term%	auth/wrkey   bad   authentication    password	 bad
authentication	id  bad	authentication domain authid: glenda
authdom: example.com auth password: secstore password:

Make sure to configure the auth	server,	see auth-p9.ms.

Build the cpu kernel for x86:










			   - 2 -


cd /sys/src/9/pc  mk  'CONF=pccpuf'  term%  9fat:  term%  cp
/sys/src/9/pc/9pccpuf	/n/9fat/  Add  these  lines  to	 the
beginning of /n/9fat/plan9.ini

[menu] menuitem=cpu, Plan 9  CPU  Kernel  menuitem=terminal,
Plan 9 Terminal	Kernel menudefault=cpu,	10

[cpu] bootfile=sdC0/!9fat!9pccpuf

[terminal] bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf

[common] nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fossil

Make sure to replace sdC0 with your actual disk.  Make	sure
also to	delete the pre-existing	line:

bootfile=sdC0!9fat!9pcf

Clear nvram and	then set a new password:

term% echo garbage >/dev/sdC0/nvram

Remember to replace sdC0 with your actual hard disk.

Set the	password:

term% auth/keyfs

Add the	hostowner bootes to sys	and adm	groups:

term%  con  -Cl	 /srv/fscons  prompt:  uname  bootes  bootes
prompt:	 uname sys +bootes prompt: uname adm +bootes prompt:
fsys main main:	 create	 /active/cron/bootes  bootes  bootes
d775 main: create /active/sys/log/cron bootes bootes a664

Append these lines to the bottom of /lib/ndb/auth:

hostid=bootes
       uid=!sys	uid=!adm uid=*

You may	need to	reboot and login as  hostowner	(bootes)  in
order for the next step	to work.

If you do reboot, select 1 for Plan 9 CPU Kernel:

Plan 9 Startup Menu: ====================
    1. Plan 9 CPU Kernel
    2. Plan  9	Terminal  Kernel  Selection[default==1	(10s
timeout)]: 1

When prompted, fill in the following values:

authid:	bootes authdom:	example.com auth password:  secstore
password:









			   - 3 -


Change the hostowner's password:

term% auth/keyfs term% auth/changeuser bootes

If you are using 9front	drawterm  and  want  to	 connect  in
text-only mode (no graphics) with the -G flag, you will	need
to edit	$home/lib/profile to remove calls  to  rio.  Comment
out line 31:

#		exec rio

You can	run the	below command:

term% mv (/usr/$user/lib/)^(profile profile.bak)  term%	 sed
'31s/^/#/'	      /usr/$user/lib/profile.bak	   >
/usr/$user/lib/profile

Then afterwards, you will be able to connect  with  drawterm
-G as follow:

$ drawterm -u $USER -h $SYSNAME	-G
