It is a program that users ofnon-Plan 9 systems can use to establish graphical cpu(1) connectionswith Plan 9 CPU servers. Just as a real Plan 9 terminal does,drawterm serves its local name space as well as some devices (thekeyboard, mouse, and screen) to a remote CPU server, which mountsthis name space on /mnt/term and starts a shell. Typically, eitherexplicitly or via the profile, one uses the shell to start rio(1). DOWNLOAD To get the latest source for drawterm from a system with Mercurial: ! $ hg clone http://code.swtch.com/drawterm In the Plan 9 distribution: [/sys/src/cmd/unix/drawterm/ |http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/unix/drawterm/](sometimes out of date) For more information and binaries for various systems see:[http://swtch.com/drawterm/] NOTES When drawterm-linux starts you might well see an error message likethis : cpu: failed to chdir to $dir where $dir is, in fact, pwd onyour linux box. I haven't looked very far to find out where thathappens because I added fn drawterm {@{cd /; drawterm-linux $* }} to$home/.rcrc and cd to the top of lib/profile to put me in $home onstartup. To access a Plan 9 cpu(1) server behind a packet filter, you need toallow access to the following ports: 17010, 17013 and 567 (to theauth(8) server).
