We're having a problem with ps.  
Under the -f option nothing is printed under the UID column.  Does
anyone have an idea on why this may be?
[ My best guess is that ps may not be chmod correctly... it does work 
correctly on my systems... here is the output of an ls on some files of
interest.

MUS% ls -la /bin/ps /dev/*mem
-rwsr-sr-x   1 root     sys        47593 Aug 18 16:09 /bin/ps
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys        3,  1 Aug 19 09:11 /dev/kmem
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys        3,  0 Aug 19 09:11 /dev/mem

If your system does not look like this, my guess is that that is your 
problem.
