I have been trying to get Brandon's System V load average daemon to work on a could of Sperry 5000s (aka NCR Towers) we have here. The loadav daemon claims it cannot find the sysinfo structure, yet I can do an nm on /unix and see it there. Am I missing something obvious or is this some "compatibility" problem? Thanks in advance!

My first guess is that the daemon is tyring to look up "_sysinfo" but that the actual extern name is "sysinfo". System V C compilers differ in whether or not they prepend _ to external names (this is caused by differences in assembler behavior for names such as "r5").
