You shouldn't need administration, just a login really. Coreutils can compile happily in your home dir Smilie

You need administrator privileges to install a compiler and headers. Quite a few production servers don't have them.

It might be possible to bodge those into your home directory as well, but we're moving well outside the realm of 'easiest alternative' here. Smilie

Sure, we don't have compilers on all the production machines we look after, but we have a build box which is of the same arch, so once compiled there it goes into my home dir which gets copied to all the production boxes. date is just one of those dead useful things (like gnufind/xargs/screen) which is helpful to have around.
