In order to be an effective system manager it is a good idea to understand how the system is designed, and how it is intended to be used.
A Plan 9 installation consists of a disk file server, an authentication server, and one or more cpu servers and terminals\(emall sharing the same disk file system.
That said, Plan 9 services may be run on separate machines, all together on one machine, or in various combinations. The original design of Plan 9 assumed that each network service would run on separate hardware; by design, individual components of the system are generally unaware if they co-exist on the same machine or are distributed amongst separate machines.
This document will describe individual services as if they are all running separately.

7.1.1 - What is the kernel?
.R
.ihtml h3
The kernel is a service that provides processes and resources to users active on an individual machine. Every Plan 9 machine boots a kernel.
At boot time the kernel takes on the identify of
.CW $user
(the user who logs in at the console), which becomes the
.CW hostowner
of the system. The
.CW hostowner
in turn 1.) controls access to the kernel's resources, 2.) serves as the auth identity (\f(CWauthid\fR) of the machine and the services it provides.
.B Note:
The
.CW hostowner
differs from the concept of
.CW root
on a UNIX system, where a single user
.CW root
may take control of all processes
.I and
files on the system. By contrast, even the
.CW hostowner
of a Plan 9 file server cannot violate file permissions on the file server, except when permissions checking is disabled on the console or when entering special commands at the console of the file server. The
.CW hostowner
controls only the
.I processes
running on the local machine. This fundamental separation between control of processes and file permissions is exploited throughout the Plan 9 system, but can be confusing for users coming from a UNIX background.

7.1.2 - What is the file server?
.R
.ihtml h3
In a traditional Plan 9 network there is one disk file server, typically the only machine with a physical hard disk, that serves files to all other machines on the network. In most cases, other machines are either diskless or only use their disks for local caching. Ken Thompson's original Plan 9 file server ran a unique, special-purpose kernel that
.I only
served files, and whose configuration could only be changed at the console. In 9front, the file server runs a normal kernel and typically also runs as a cpu server (for remote access).
9front supports two different disk file systems for use on the file server:
.CW cwfs
and
.CW hjfs .
.CW cwfs
is a userspace port of Ken Thompson's original Plan 9 file server.
.CW hjfs
is a new, experimental file server that stores both the cache and worm on a single partition (and thus requires less disk space to be used effectively). Both are reasonably robust.

.B Note:
Since most Plan 9 systems have no disk, security of the file server is largely protected from breaches of security in its clients. The fewer the programs that run on the file server, the more isolated it can be from security holes in programs.
.B Note:
Users seeking access to the file server must be added as a user on the file system itself, and, if auth is enabled, added to the auth server's user database.
.B Note:
Some users choose to run remote cpu or auth servers as stand-alone systems, each with their own local disk file systems. The distinction between all these types of systems is fuzzy and can become even fuzzier as services are enabled and disabled in different combinations.

7.1.3 - What is the auth server?
.R
.ihtml h3
The auth server manages authentication for an entire Plan 9 network. It boots a normal kernel but is usually run on a separate, diskless machine that performs no other functions, in order to reduce the danger of a security breach compromising its kernel processes. That said, the auth server is usually also configured as a cpu server, for remote access.
.B Note:
The
.ihtml a <a href="http://man.9front.org/8/cron">
.CW cron(8)
.ihtml a
service should be run only on the auth server, where it can authenticate itself to access any of the other machines on the network.

.SH
7.1.4 - What is the cpu server?
.R
.ihtml h3
The cpu server is used for remote computation. A cpu server's kernel runs processes in isolation, on only that machine. The boot process of a cpu server (defined as such by setting
.CW service=cpu
in the machine's
.CW plan9.ini
or equivalent) may be examined by reading the
.CW /rc/bin/cpurc
script, which is executed at boot time. Running as a cpu server causes the kernel to adjust certain resource values that ultimately determine the behavior of the machine. For example, the
.CW cpurc
script starts certain programs only if the machine is recognized as a cpu server.
Common use cases for a separate cpu server are: To execute programs compiled for a different architecture than that of the terminal; To execute programs closer to the data they are operating upon (for example, if the terminal is running over a slow link but the cpu server is on the same ethernet segment as the file server); To execute processes in physical isolation from other processes. In the early days of Plan 9, a cpu server was often significantly more powerful than the (often, special-purpose) hardware used for diskless terminals. Today, terminals are typically powerful computers in their own right, and the need for a separate machine running only as a cpu server is less common. That said, it can be useful to execute unstable or unpredictable programs on a separate machine so that frequently crashing and/or rebooting does not affect one's immediate workspace environment\(emespecially when testing new code. In the case of remote (mail, web, etc.) servers, it is also likely that cpu access would be desired.
In practice, the disk file server, the auth server, and even some terminals will often run their own cpu listeners, to enable remote access to the processes controlled by their kernels.
.B Note:
Users seeking access to a cpu server must first be added on the file system of the cpu server's corresponding file server (for permission to access and modify files) as well as the user database of its designated auth server (for login authentication).

7.1.5 - What is a terminal?
.R
.ihtml h3
The terminal is the machine at which the Plan 9 user is most often physically located. Usually diskless, the terminal will almost always run with graphics enabled (for launching the
.CW rio
GUI or other graphical programs). The boot process of a terminal (defined as such by setting
.CW service=terminal
in the machine's
.CW plan9.ini
or equivalent) may be examined by reading the
.CW /rc/bin/termrc
script, which is executed at boot time.
.B Note:
Many Plan 9 users run stand-alone systems that operate \(em effectively \(em as a combined terminal and file server. For example, inside a virtual machine such as qemu, or booted from hard disk on a laptop. In this case the Plan 9 network is entirely self-contained, running one kernel on one machine, which renders auth and cpu services superfluous. This configuration trades some of the inherent security of separate hardware and kernel boundaries for the convenience of combining the whole system into a single, bootable instance.
.B Note:
Terminal users who do not run stand-alone machines or who wish to access Plan 9 network resources must first be added to the file system of the network's file server, and to the user database of the network's auth server.

.P2
For arm64 / bcm64 (Raspberry Pi 3):
.P1
cd /sys/src/9/bcm64
mk install # kernel is copied to /arm64/9pi3
.P2
For 386 and amd64 machines with local disk, it may be desired to install the new bootloader and kernels onto the
.CW 9fat
partition, in order to boot directly from disk.
.B Note:
The bootloader needs to be continuous on disk, so simply copying over the original file does not produce the desired effect. Instead:
.P1
9fs 9fat
rm /n/9fat/9bootfat
cp /386/9bootfat /n/9fat/
chmod +al /n/9fat/9bootfat # defrag magic

For 386:
.P1
cp /386/9pc /n/9fat/
.P2
For amd64:
.P1
cp /amd64/9pc64 /n/9fat/
.P2
Finally, if a different kernel is being intsalled than the one currently running, edit
.CW plan9.ini
and change
.CW bootfile

Reboot:
.P1
fshalt -r
.P2
The next step (on cwfs; not needed on hjfs) is to enable authentication on the file server, to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the disk over the network. At the
.CW bootargs
prompt, retype the default and add the
.CW -c
flag to enter the file server's config mode. At the
.CW config
prompt, type
.CW noauth
twice to toggle authentication on the file server. Finally, type
.CW end

.P1
bootargs is (tcp, local!device)
[local!/dev/sdXX/fscache] local!/dev/sdXX/fscache -c
config: noauth
auth is now disabled
config: noauth
auth is now enabled
config: end
.P2
The machine will now continue to boot.
Once booted, the next step is to configure the file server to listen for connections from remote hosts. Modify the
.CW bootargs
of the file server in
.CW /n/9fat/plan9.ini :
For cwfs:
.P1
bootargs=local!/dev/sdXX/fscache -a tcp!*!564

.P2
.B Note:
The
.CW
-m 702
.R
flag for
.CW hjfs
allocates 702 megabytes of memory to be used as a cache. This value is typically automatically calculated by the 9front installer, and may differ on your system. There is no need to change whatever default was already configured.

Subject: [9front] notes on user none
Reply-To: [email protected]
I remembered investigating the restrictions on user none
in the past so I went and dug out my notes. They're only
applicable to fossil and cwfs, though, so someone else
will have to go through the hjfs code to compare.
The notes are attached below.
Cheers,

# from /sys/doc/9.ms
Finally, a special user called none has no password and is always
allowed to connect; anyone may claim to be none. None has restricted
permissions; for example, it is not allowed to examine dump files and
can read only world-readable files.
# from /sys/doc/auth.ms
Factotum is the only process that needs to create capabilities, so all
the network servers can run as untrusted users (e.g., Plan 9's none or
Unix's nobody), which greatly reduces the harm done if a server is
buggy and is compromised.

Subject: [9front] new factotum/authsrv/keyfs
Reply-To: [email protected]
i just pushed the new code which adds dp9ik authentication support.
to update a system, the following things need to be done:
# make sure you have the latest libmp/libsec
cd /sys/src/libmp; mk install
cd /sys/src/libsec; mk install
# rebuild mpc (required for libauthsrv)
cd /sys/src/cmd; mk mpc.install
# rebuild libauthsrv / libauth
cd /sys/src/libauthsrv; mk install
cd /sys/src/libauth; mk install
# rebuild factotum/keyfs/authsrv
cd /sys/src/cmd/auth; mk install
# then rebuild kernel to include the new factotum,
# but dont reboot your authserver just yet...
cd /sys/src/9/pc; mk install
# if your /adm/keydb is still in DES format (cat it to see
# if the keyfile starts with the AES signature), you need to
# convert it to use the new dp9ik protocol:
# make backup
cp /adm/keys /adm/keys.old
auth/convkeys -ap /adm/keys
# now set the aes key in nvram (so authserver can decrypt
# the keydb when it boots)
auth/wrkey
# now you can reboot the AS and once its up, you have to
# set new passwords for the users. logging in with the
# old p9sk1 plan9 password should continue to work if
# you skip this.
passwd [username]
# if there are issues logging in with dp9ik because keydb
# doesnt have the new key yet, you can use delkey(1) to
# remove the dp9ik key from factotum as a work arround.

7.9 - TLS certificates

.FG openssl1 png
To use TLS-enabled services on a Plan 9 mail server (poptls, apoptls, imaps, etc.) you need to generate a certificate and key for your mail server and tell the
.CW factotum
of the server about that key. The following example creates a self-signed certificate:
.P1
ramfs -p
cd /tmp
auth/rsagen -t \'service=tls role=client owner=*\' > key
chmod 600 key
cp key /sys/lib/tls/key # or: store key in secstore
auth/rsa2x509 \'C=US CN=fakedom.dom\' /sys/lib/tls/key | \e
auth/pemencode CERTIFICATE > /sys/lib/tls/cert
.P2
.B Note:
Here,
.CW US
is the two-digit country code, and
.CW fakedom.dom
is the fully qualified domain name.
To load the key into the server's
.CW factotum
at boot time, add the following line to
.CW /cfg/$sysname/cpustart :
.P1
cat /sys/lib/tls/key >>/mnt/factotum/ctl
.P2
