I originally emailed bugs@bsdi... a long time ago soon after the initial
2.0 release of BSD/OS to enquire as to whether the bug in w (or in the
Riscomm drivers?) preventing the display of the program name for
programs run by users logged in on Riscomm/8 cards had been fixed, and
was told that it was a known bug, and a patch would be released "soon".
Or at least, so I recall. Was such a fix ever released? We're running
2.0.1, and w looks like this:
-r-xr-sr-x 2 bin kmem 12288 Feb 3 1995 /usr/bin/w*
Is this the right w?
Thanks.,.
