I will check the manual pages, although I'm not sure what to look for. I did note when creating a user or similar activity that a special case was made to include p9sk1 somewhere and I did later wonder about it, which is what my long question was all about, but I could not see where the details were hiding.

Much appreciated, in any case, thank you.

And, yes, plan9port is based on what has now become 9legacy, but there are significant 9front contributions. It would have been quite helpful if p9p development had been farmed out to a team comprising developers (and designers) from both camps.
