a.copy $user.1 to the $home/lib/face directory.
cpu% mkdir $home/lib/face
2.Run faceoff. The faceoff updates are queued.

9p mail

Enter upasname=$user@9p.sdf.org if it's not already in the $home/lib/profile, below the bind lines. Try 'sed 5q $home/lib/profile' to view the first 5 lines of $home/lib/profile. (Although unrelated, a Plan 9 VPS upas snippet is available for reference.)
