sar -s 9 -e 10 does not work under some user

[V-tec]

Hi all,

if I try as root

# sar -s 9 -e 10
12/22/08

09:03:00 %usr %sys %wio %idle
09:13:00 0 0 0 99
...

it works like it should. But if i try the same under another user, it will produce nothing. If I try just sar without any argument, it works even under this user. I'm completely out of clue.

Permissions to /usr/bin/sar are ok as well as to /var/adm/sa/*

What are they? Does sar(1) need setuid?

same permissions as on different working box.
