Some time ago someone posted a solution for the problem, that emacs
doesn't display the load in the modeline with display-time on Vaxen
under Ultrix 3.?. The solution was to set the group of the etc/loadst
program to kmem and set the setgid bit.
In emacs 18.57 the function of loadst is integrated in emacs itself.
The solution works, when applied to the emacs binary. BUT: Then emacs
has no more permission to write your own files. This is bad, because
you cannot save or write files anymore, which is an important feature
of an editor :-).
So - is there already any better (i.e. real) solution for this problem
with version 18.57 ?
