 <p>You can post new services to the registry using standard methods. For Inferno systems check out the official documentation, since it's a standard Inferno registry. For Plan 9 systems it is possible by writing strings to the <code>new</code> file, like documented in the Inferno manual.</p>

 <p>For Plan 9 systems you can use the following command to post your service:</p>

-<p><code>&gt; /mnt/registry/new {echo 'tcp!yourserver!port description ''your description'' contact you@example.com type fileserver'; while(sleep 3600);}</code>. The <code>while</code> loop is used to keep the file descriptor open. When the file descriptor is closed, the service will be removed from the registry.</p>

 <p>You can integrate this command in your system or add similar behaviour to your applications.</p>

+<h2>Make new account @ 9p.zone EXTRA auth</h2>

+</header>

+<p><strong>Achtung:</strong> Creating a new account a 9p.zone EXTRA auth will not necessarily grant access to EXTRA services. Sometimes you will need to activate your account at their fileserver.</p>

+<p>To create a new account you will need some way to access a 9front machine via rcpu. Drawterm will be enough. Here are the steps:</p>

+<ol>

+<li>Connect as <code>newuser</code> to the auth server: <code>rcpu -u newuser -h p9auth.9p.zone</code>.</li>

+<li>You are presented with a wizard-like process. Follow it.</li>

+</ol>

+<p>Currently you won't receive automated mails. Still it is best to provide a working mail address so we can reach you if necessary.</p>

+<h3>Change your password</h3>

+<p>You can change your password using standard routines on every CPU server. For convenience you can <code>rcpu</code> into <code>p9auth.9p.zone</code> and change your password there.</p>

+<h2>Unofficial fs+cpu grid (sirjofri)</h2>

+</header>

+<p>This service can be considered the first EXTRA service on 9p.zone. It is meant to provide some place to work on projects but also share files.</p>

+<p>To activate your 9p.zone EXTRA user account at this fileserver you need to connect to its fileserver:</p>

+<ol>

+<li>Connect as yourself: <code>tlsclient -a tcp!fs.eu.9p.zone!9999</code></li>

+<li>You will be asked if you want to activate your account. Answering this with <code>y</code> will activate the account on the server.</li>

+<li>After that, you can connect to <em>any</em> cpu server on the grid. All users have their own <code>/usr</code>-directory.</li>

+</ol>

+<p>The service will be extended with software and other services. Let's see how it develops.</p>
