Not having BRL 4.2 I have no idea what that might have changed. However I have posted an update to the load control system dated January 24, 1985 to net.sources.bugs. The changes add one or two security additions and will now work on 4.2BSD and it's more recent versions (I suspect that this will work on BRL 4.2 as well). As an aside, a newer version of load control is due out in late October after it gets some real testing. The newer version uses better load prediction algorithms (it uses more than load average in determing what an "overloaded" system is) than the Jan 24, 85 version and has many new features.
