Package: procps Version: 1.01a-1 Running ps as root always shows "?" for the controlling tty of every process, although it works for normal users. The problem occurs under kernel 1.2.13 (haven't tried 2.0.x), both with procps-0.99-3 and with the new package procps-1.01a-1.
The solution was in the ps(1) man page: to remove /etc/psdevtab (which had permissions 0000!) and subsequently run ps as root to recreate it. Perhaps this file should be recreated when the package is installed? Carlos Fonseca
