No, it is just, that you have to make a symlink to your cpp, which is
elswhere... SLS has got lot`s of these inconsistencies lately I am afraid...

Yes, the problem seems to be, that the ps is a proc-filesystem based one,
and thus does not have an ps -U option to update the database the normal
ps and who and top need to work.

For top I know of no cure, but "ps -u" does the same as "w" did.
