Wrong 'w' and 'ps' (bug in procps?)

Wrong 'w' and 'ps' (bug in procps?)

[Stephan van Hienen]

hi just installed 1.0.9
and now this 'bug' ?

:

[ddx@sun ddx]$ w
  6:07pm  up 16:51,  4 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
root     tty9                       6:59am 11:06m  0.00s   ?     -
ddx      ttyp0    ddx.ml.org        8:25am  1:56m  0.00s   ?     -
ddx      ttyp1    ddx.ml.org        6:07pm 26.00s  0.00s   ?     -
ddx      ttyp2    ddx.ml.org        6:07pm  0.00s  0.00s   ?     -
[ddx@sun ddx]$ ps
  PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
  655  ?  S    0:00 /bin/login -h ddx.ml.org -p
  656  ?  S    0:00 -bash
  667  ?  S    0:05 BitchX
 1127  ?  S    0:00 login -p -h ddx.ml.org -f ddx
 1128  ?  S    0:00 -bash
 1147  ?  S    0:00 login -p -h ddx.ml.org ddx
 1148  ?  S    0:00 -bash
 1157  ?  R    0:00 ps                           

PCPU and the TTY are not logged ok i think

but :

[ddx@sun ddx]$ who
root     tty9     May 13 06:59
ddx      ttyp0    May 13 08:25 (ddx.ml.org)
ddx      ttyp1    May 13 18:07 (ddx.ml.org)
ddx      ttyp2    May 13 18:07 (ddx.ml.org)     

gives it ok

Thanks for pointing it out, it is fixed now.  If impatient, unpack the
procps SRPM from the UP-1.0.9 distribution, and perform the following
tasks to get fixed binaries:

1) Add the patch at the end of this mail to your procps tree
2) Rebuild
3) Install
4) Remove /etc/psdevtab
5) Run w, ps, or one of those procps programs once, this will
   rebuild /etc/psdevtab as a side effect

Once done, all the bugs you reported should be gone.
