iirc, 9vx doesn't have devcap.
the problem you're addressing can't be addressed well through #Z.
unix systems act differently than plan 9 ones do. there are a host
of locking, etc. questions that #Z doesn't handle either. it would be easier
to use a plan 9 fs (ken fs, cwfs, fossil). then you wouldn't need to
deal with unix authentication.
