You must have done something wrong. On a system withe the most recent
snapshot freshly unpacked, I got:
Script started on Sun Jul 20 09:24:15 1997
[501]entropy@ubik:~ $ ls -l `which w` `which pstat`
-r-xr-sr-x 2 bin kmem 15912 Jul 16 01:57 /usr/bin/w*
-r-xr-sr-x 1 bin kmem 22940 Jul 16 02:03 /usr/sbin/pstat*
[502]entropy@ubik:~ $ exit
Script done on Sun Jul 20 09:24:38 1997
Each of the snapshot packages was installed with a command like:
tar -C / --unlink -xzvpf package.tar.gz
cheers,
