In SGI's ICE product we have a script that uses pcp to gather quota
information to feed to ganglia and to alert the admin if a project is
over quota.  With newer pcp where pmcd is run as user pcp and not as
root we get failures to obtain the quota information.  Changing back
to root or other similar techniques works (as expected).  Since the
hosts that run this are cluster infrastructure nodes this may be the
hack we decide on but we'd like other suggestions.

Thanks.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill. - Lee/Lifeson/Peart
