ps is the native linux version, there is a custom sco binary used in
our application called
pm. this program basicly uses ps to get username and pid for a user
within our bussiness
application. I don't like it but pm is set uid and when called it gives
the program not secure
to run as setuid. this message is comming seems to be comming from ps.
I am guessing
that a recomplie of ps is going to be needed.
