I'm running NetBSD 0.9 as taken from the tar_files on NetBSD-current on sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu and compiled up for use. After compiling all of the necessary libraries, utilities, and programs, I find that all works pretty much as advertised, but whenever I use "rup", "uptime", "ps", "df", "swapinfo", or "uptime", The statistics all indicate 0. For example, %uptime 7:10pm up 1:10, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 This when I know that the machine is compiling several things at once. I am not sure what the problem is, but I believe it is a library problem because df always shows 0 disk space used regardless of the amount of available versus the amount used. Likewise, ps always shows processes as taking no cpu time and no memory even when they are in core and the resident set size is reported as being over a megabyte. Swapinfo, shows the amount of space taken up with swapped stuff and the amount of swap available before and after use, but always says that 0% of the swap space is in use. If anyone has any ideas as to which libraries might be at fault here, or which part of the compiler might be at fault, please mail me at <buhrow@cats.ucsc.edu> -thank you very much for your responses. -Brian
