	Suggest you add the following to /dev/MAKEDEV (and if it
	everything works submit the patches for the changes in a pr :)

ss*)
        case $i in 
        ss*) name=ss;   unit=${i#ss};   chr=59;;
        esac    
        rm -f $name$unit n$name$unit
        mknod $name$unit        c $chr $(($unit * 16 + 0))
        mknod n$name$unit       c $chr $(($unit * 16 + 1))
        chgrp operator $name$unit n$name$unit
        chmod 640 $name$unit n$name$unit
        ;;
