You don't want this.  You will certainly confuse yourself
when next you try to build pcauth, since there will be
object files that look like pcauth but are really pcautha.

    cp pcauth pcautha
    mk 'CONF=pcautha' 

should work just fine.  What is the exact error message?
Does it go away if you run

    mk 'CONF=pcautha' 9pcautha

?

The list of pcauth pcf etc. names in the mkfile is for
cleanup and installation purposes only.  It doesn't limit
what you can say on the mk command line.

The other bindings suggested by matt are much more
reasonable, since they don't result in as much confusion
should you forget to do the bind.  Still, if you're worrying
about not making new files in the /sys/src/9 tree, it's
even easier just to copy the whole tree -- the kernel is
so small anyway.
