This is our fault.  To fix it, run the following as root:

	cp /afs/.sipb.mit.edu/system/i386_nbsd1/bin/ps /bin/ps
	cp /afs/.sipb.mit.edu/system/i386_nbsd1/usr/bin/w /usr/bin/w

Is this an Xlogin or a console login?  I think the problem is specific
to console logins.  I've seen problems similar to this before; I'll
try to fix it as soon as I get aroud to fixing the installation.
