- I just got the Jan 18 SLS (which I have just upgraded to the 99.4 kernal).

- people are having the same problem.

- The latest ps in SLS does *not* use the -U switch to update the
- psdatabase: At this point, it doesn't even use the psdatabase. It
- uses the /proc directory. To use this, put the following line in your
- /etc/rc.local:
- /etc/mount /proc /proc -t proc
- (or use /bin/mount if your mount command is in /bin)
-
- Better yet, add the appropriate similar line to you /etc/fstab file.
- This is the "right" way to do it.
