Hunting on the we it looks like Ron Cox is the goto person for that (http://bitbucket.org/rsc/vx32/changesets/ dated 2009-12-27): "To make it possible to log into 9vx using drawterm a device #¤ (devcap) is needed, otherwise auth_chuid() will fail, because it cannot open #¤/capuse." "This patch adds `9/port/devcap.c' from Plan 9 to 9vx/a, with only a few adaptions (see a/devcap.ed)." So if I am reading this correctly, it is in a vx32 repository but not in the 9vx one. I could be totally off base with that one, but thought the info might be useful for tracking down. EBo --
