Re: [9fans] osc drawterm big sur

ok,

this drawterm is working fine for me now.

the cocoa build fails to start, not even prompting me for secstore passwords.

the metal build works with a small match (bodge?) applied, and i backported the /dev/secstore change from an old drawterm i have here.

i assume /dev/secstore was removed as it is bad security practice - which is true. i added it back under the -S option so it is not the default.

NB to be really sure your secrets have gone i suggest you have “cp /dev/null /mnt/term/dev/secstore” in your profile - overwrite them rather than just truncating the file.

i have submitted pull requests on github for these changes.

I personally would like to have the secrets fetched by drawterm. It seems like it only fetches them to connect with the cpu server and then forgets about the keys.
