The ruptime command does not display load averages, although such information from remote (non-apollo) machines is present in the appropriate files in the /usr/spool/rwho directory. The SR9.7 version of ruptime was ok in this respect. Eric Wassenaar -- Organization: NIKHEF-H, National Institute for Nuclear and High-Energy Physics Address: Kruislaan 409, P.O.

I reported this bug to Apollo via an APR. Twice. Each time, the response came back "Apollos don't generate load statistics". I believe my APRs explicitly stated that the problem was with Apollo's ruptime not reporting other vendors' machines load stats, not with the lack of such stats from Apollos. My call to the APR administrator (the replies you get from Apollo in the mail say to call the APR administrator if there are concerns with the APR) got me "Oh yes. I see what you mean. I'll make sure it gets re-interpreted". A couple of weeks later, the reply came in the mail saying "Apollos dont generate load stats". Draw your own conclusions.
