Sorry, I didn't specify. plan9 is the auth server; csplan9 is my machine
at RIT.
Ron just discovered that somewhere in my recent changes I make drawterm
stop working; I'm sure that's got something to do with the cpu problems. I've
since done "yesterday" and pulled in a working version, so now here's what
we're using:

	file=/lib/ndb/common
