I'm running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on a 286.  The `w' command gives me a seek
error, though `uptime' works ok.  It is setuid to sysinfo, /dev/kmem
and /dev/swap are both owned and readable by sysinfo, and /xenix and
/etc/utmp are both readable by all.  Does anybody have any clues as to
how to fix this problem?  Thanks.
