Hello everyone,
I'm runnign a report and I have several "unowned" files under the /usr/lpp/bos.net directory.
Can anyone explain what exactly is bos.net? I've googled it but all I see is"bos.net.tcp client"
I would like to have e clear idea of what bos.net id. I'm seeing that those files in other servers are owned by root, but I don't wnat to change anything until I have a clear idea of what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance.
Base operating system/network, I'd guess.

I'm guessing your files have a UID of 25 or 987. When we do upgrades, 25 and 987 seem to own quite a bit. You should be able change the owner of those files all to root without causing any problems. Here's my file listing:
hostname:usr/lpp/bos.net:$ pwd
/usr/lpp/bos.net
hostname:usr/lpp/bos.net:$ ls -l
