I'm running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on a 286. The `w' command gives me a seek
error, though `uptime' works ok. It is setuid to sysinfo, /dev/kmem
and /dev/swap are both owned and readable by sysinfo, and /xenix and
/etc/utmp are both readable by all. Does anybody have any clues as to
how to fix this problem? Thanks.

SCO is aware of the seek error, and they are working on a fix to it; however, I believe this is a low priority for them and probably will not be addressed for some time... especially since 2.3.2 is the final release of Xenix-286. -- ** --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- --*-- ** Glen Barney 301-258-5338 It'll take time, but we're going far, InterNet: glen%sungate@uunet.UU.NET you and me, I know we are.

It must be really low priority since I reported this same problem a year and a half ago when I first upgraded to 2.3.2 on the 286. I've since upgraded to SCO UNIX. uptime/w work correctly there :-). -- Roger A. Cornelius rac@sherpa.UUCP uunet!sherpa!rac
