 How does one reboot remotely (from drawterm)?
 I see that /srv/fscons is chmod 600 and owned by bootes.
 What is the standard way to do this?

by cpuing in as bootes.  from drawterm it is legal
to cpu -h $cpuserver -u bootes.

if you have more than a trivial number of machines,
a serial console server is a good idea.  that makes this
sort of thing a little easier.

Logically...
Need to read up on the manuals.

Thanks!

Couldn't consolefs be rigged to allow certain named users (or a group) to do 
things like what he's asking for?

why would rigging be involved?  it naturally does that.
when i'm doing kernel debugging, this is a pretty natural
way to go:

C victim
victim# ^P
cpu0: exiting

I thought so.  I just said rigging because I didn't remember how to get it 
set up. :)

the trick of using ^T^Tr on terminals and ^P on
cpu servers is slick!
