The sid procpc works just fine with ppc64 kernel, no need to mess with it at all. Oh, fine, so there is no risk of overflow of the process id. The process id in Linux is always 32bits, and unless you tweak /proc/sys/kernel/pid-max the actual range used is even smaller. What about the sarge procps ? It shouldn't be any different. I have been running ppc64 kernels with sarge for a long time. And if there's a bug in procps somewhere where it can't deal with some fields beeing bigger in 64bit kernels that should be fixed in procps instead of needing another set of binaries. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
