If you run xload as a normal user, it dies with the : error 'xload: couldn't obtain load average X?oeXS'. Now, here's the really : interesting part. If you are 'root', it works fine. xload perms are: : -rwsr-xr-x 1 root kmem 12288 Sep 28 10:08 /usr/X11R6/bin/xload I've run into the same problem on two systems. Anybody got a solution? My perms are the same as above: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root 12288 Sep 28 14:08 /usr/X11R6/bin/xload As an aside, has anybody else had trouble with the et4000/W32 server?
