Help......
I am running a 420R w/sol 8 and I am trying to install sun's monitoring software srs netconnect. I have installed it on 6 other boxes with no problem.
Installation failed with the message:
## Installing part 1 of 1.
/etc/opt/SUNWsrspx/CustomerCert.pem
/etc/opt/SUNWsrspx/SRSCACert.pem
/etc/opt/SUNWsrspx/binaries

Exiting installation
Then a tail /var/adm/messages shows:
Oct 21 12:21:09 <hostname> srsuserutil[25151]: [ID 430690 daemon.error] srsproxyconfig.cfg path element not owned by root: /etc
Oct 21 12:21:09 <hostname> root: [ID 702911 daemon.error] proxy queue initialization failed
I did a ls -l on / and output showed that a user(group=staff) other than root owned certain directories that are normally owned by root with sys as group (based on the tail message):
drwxr-xr-x 43 username staff 3584 Oct 21 12:10 etc
drwxr-xr-x 35 username staff 1024 Sep 26 2002 usr
Upon contacting the vendor for the application installed on the server, they said that I should change directories back to root/owner and sys/group.
This was done sucessfully and I performed another install of srs netconnect which failed with the same messages.
When I did a ls -l of / again, I noticed that the owner/group had switched back to the above again(not root/sys).
Why???? What could cause the directory ownership and group ownership to change??
Please help....Thanks.
