I'm trying to track down a solution to a little problem in our application when it 
runs on RedHat Enterprise AS 2.1.  

The application is executing "who -Hu" and parsing the output.  The trouble is, it 
appears this version of Linux does not include a POSIX compliant version of "who".  
I've checked RedHat 9 and this version seems to be fine.

I'm only casually familiar with the Linux and RedHat world, so I'm not sure if I'm 
"barking up the right tree".  I hope there is someone in U2 land that can quickly 
point me in the right direction.  

I believe there is a possibility an updated version of the "coreutils" RPM package for 
RedHat Enterprise 2.1 AS might provide a POSIX compliant version of "who".  I went to 
www.rpmfind.com looking for a newer "coreutils" package for this version of RedHat, 
but I didn't find anything.  I saw plenty of "coreutils" packages on the web-site, but 
I'm assuming that if unless a specific package is not listed with the RedHat 
distribution I'm working with the package is not compatible.  

Can anyone give me a little nudge in the right direction to figure out whether or not 
there is a newer "coreutils" that will work with RedHat AS 2.1?
