I have a problem with system activity measurement pkg sar. 
One (sunny) day after a kernel relink sar reported :'/unix not the
running kernel'.  After more relinking and a reboot i was convinced
that /unix indeed was the running kernel. A look in the doc. for saxx
informed me of a file (/tmp/sa.adrfl) named as address file. Renaming this
and running sar again showed that this file was created if missing.
Suddernley sar was running - once. Repeated hacking around showed that
when sa.adrfl was removed su could run sar once. No one else. however
if chmod +w sa.adrfl was done people seemed to be able tu use sar.
This i thought until skulker removed the file.   
Anybody out there to put some light over this ?

By the way, anyone that has written a better presentation ? I have seen
monitor from hewlett-packard -  that one (i think it is customer-support sw)
is really good. It has all needed, even better than VMS/monitor.
