Hello. I wish to patch my system, but can't:

% who
glenda
% cat /adm/users | grep glenda
glenda:glenda:glenda:
sys:sys::glenda
% ape/patch < /usr/glenda/nix.diff
patching file 'float.h'
patch: **** can't rename '/tmp/...' to 'float.h': Permission denied
%

What?

I tried other diffs; same grief. How can I do so? I briefly searched
the 9fans archive, but found no such method, though I'm a 9novice so
might have just missed it.

Thanks.

Cheers,
strake
