Chester,
I know this is terribly late, but thanks for your report. I've fixed
(2). Not sure how to fix (1) - I'd be grateful for any ideas from
anyone.
Not sure why (3) is happening. Unfortunately, I don't know enough
about (4) to sort out.
For (5), I'd be interested in how coreutils does this (http://
www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) because we use their routines to get
the load average and I doubt if they insist on setuid root to allow
this to happen.
Can I get access to an AIX server to test on?
1 out of 5 - pretty bad showing :(
