pkgadd changes permissions of /etc

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

when I install a package using pkgadd, it correctly installs the binary files with the user name that I want.

However it also changes the permissions of /etc/rc2.d. I don't want this to happen. I want to retain original owner of /etc/rc2.d as it is.

I could see that before installing, the ownership of the directories is assigned to root:

bash-2.05# ls -dl /etc
drwxr-xr-x  53  root     sys         3584 Oct  7 17:44 /etc

bash-2.05# ls -dl  /etc/rc2.d
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     sys         1536 Oct  8 16:34  /etc/rc2.d

After installing the package, ownership would be changed and becomes the user which is provided at a time of installation.

bash-2.05# ls -dl  /etc
drwxr-xr-x  53 cpds42     cpds42         3584 Oct  7 17:44  /etc

bash-2.05# ls -dl /etc/rc2.d
drwxr-xr-x   2 cpds42      cpds42         1536 Oct  8 16:34 /etc/rc2.d

Here is some code snippet of the prototype file:

# Auto Start/Stop script
  d none /etc 0755 $Owner $Group
  d none /etc/rc2.d 0755 $Owner $Group
  f preserve /etc/rc2.d/S80abc=$SCRIPT_SRC/S80abc 0755 $Owner $Group

I thought the problem is with the above code in prototype file. So I tried changing it to below:

# Auto Start/Stop script
  d none /etc ? ? ?
  d none /etc/rc2.d ? ? ?
  f preserve /etc/rc2.d/S80abc=$SCRIPT_SRC/S80abc 0755 $Owner $Group

However the problem is still there. It is still changing the existing permissions of /etc and /etc/rc2.d.

Can anyone please give some help pointers?

This package is bogus. You'd better ask for it to be fixed by its creator.
