  I didn't post the original question, but I tried to get Maclayers running
  on an Apollo several months ago without any success... I don't remember the
  problems, but I know that for a couple of steps you need to be the
  superuser to get things going.  I contacted a couple of people back
  then, and their conclusion was that it would take a lot of work to get
  it running on an Apollo.

I've got Maclayers running on sr10.3 here.  It worked first time with no
changes to the source.  I didn't have to be superuser to make, install, or
run it.  I think it's got a #define to turn off mucking with the utmp file,
and you have to do that.
