Well I found this problemn out. MAKEDEV seems to create socksys as a device:

MAKEDEV:socksys)
MAKEDEV:        rm -f socksys nfsd spx
MAKEDEV:        mknod socksys c 41 0
          >-----^
MAKEDEV:        mknod spx c 41 1
MAKEDEV:        ln -s socksys nfsd
MAKEDEV:        chown root.wheel socksys nfsd spx
MAKEDEV:        chmod 666 socksys nfsd spx
MAKEDEV:        ;;                                

removing socksys and linking it to /dev/null was the right trick. I assumed
that MAKEDEV would do  the right thing.

ot that part out of the way. Now on to the next problem:

% SCO/_I/wpinstg agre -bg grey
Segmentation fault (core dumped)  

Last part of ktrace I have right now is:

...
   276 wpinstg  NAMI  "shared/m_agre"
   276 wpinstg  RET   open 4
   276 wpinstg  CALL  ioctl(0x4,0x5401 ,0xefbfd6ba)

   276 wpinstg  CALL  sendmsg(0x4,0xefbfd6a8)
   276 wpinstg  RET   sendmsg 0
   276 wpinstg  CALL  read(0x4,0x767de8,0x400)
   276 wpinstg  GIO   fd 4 read 609 bytes

   276 wpinstg  RET   read 609/0x261
   276 wpinstg  CALL  read(0x4,0x767de8,0x400)
   276 wpinstg  GIO   fd 4 read 0 bytes
       ""
   276 wpinstg  RET   read 0
   276 wpinstg  CALL  close(0x4)
   276 wpinstg  RET   close 0
   276 wpinstg  PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
   276 wpinstg  NAMI  "wpinstg.core"


Not too helpful... trudging along.
