When I start it, I get lines that look like this:

can't access   stan      ttyp1  r9sbal    

For all users.

Presing "t" gives me this:

3 users: (0 local, 0 telnet, 0 ssh, 3 other)                                  load: 0.00, 0.00,
0.001 processes
1 ? - -
	 
the "w" command gives me this:

pbuild1# w
 1:51PM  up 1 day, 17:55, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
 USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
 alarm_displayer  v4       -                Fri07PM 1day  /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
 /home/alarm_displayer
 alarm_gatherer   p0       :ttyv3:S.0       Fri07PM 1day  /usr/bin/perl -w
 /home/alarm_gatherer/bin/
 stan             p1       r9sbal            1:47PM     - w

Runing as root, so I don't think it's a permissions problem.

Sugestions as to what I can try? Or other tests?
