The version of track that we are using for servers assumes that it
runs with root privileges.
* Any errors encountered get written to /usr/adm/TRACKLOG, not to the
control terminal; if TRACKLOG isn't writable, an error message about
that problem is written to the terminal, but the original error is
discarded.
* It assumes that it can read any file. A file that is mode 511 (and
is not readable by me) appears to generate random checksums. (Two
packs, one an rvdcopy of the other, files not changed, checksums
were different.)
