I tested the boxes I have under my command for this prob, and got the following results: AIX 4.2.1 - running Patrol 3.1 (AIX3.2-RS) - doesnt have snmpmagt. AIX 4.2.1 - running Patrol 3.22 (AIX4.1-RS) - file created. Solaris 2.5.1 - running Patrol 3.2 (Solaris25-sun4) - file created. HP-UX 10.01 - running Patrol 3.2 (HPUX-PA1.1-V10) - file created. > note: if the file exists it keeps the same perms, otherwise creates it > with perms based on your umask and chown's to whoever owns the parent > directory of the file you're creating. if the file exists it overwrites it > with "i^A" then the result of gethostname() and some whitespace. this > problem is not platform dependent and was tested based on out of box > install on an HP. Hmmmmm - I cant seem to replicate the directory-owner prob. It seems to me that snmpmagt creates the desired file with the owner set to the same as the owner of snmpmagt. Here's a quick test I ran: " root@fish # pwd /export/home/patrol/PATROL3.2/Solaris25-sun4/bin root@fish # ls -al ./snmpmagt -rwsr-xr-x 1 root staff 120364 Aug 26 1997 ./snmpmagt root@fish # mkdir /symon/patroltest root@fish # chmod 777 /symon/patroltest root@fish # ls -al /symon | egrep "patroltest" drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 512 Jul 15 11:39 patroltest root@fish # umask 0 root@fish # ./snmpmagt cheese.cheese /symon/patroltest/cheese cheese.cheese: No such file or directory smux bind failure: Address already in use ./snmpmagt: error processing configuration root@fish # ls -al /symon/patroltest/cheese -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 770 Jul 15 11:40 /symon/patroltest/cheese root@fish # chown patrol ./snmpmagt root@fish # ./snmpmagt cheese.cheese /symon/patroltest/cheese.2 cheese.cheese: No such file or directory snmp bind failure: Permission denied smux bind failure: Permission denied ./snmpmagt: error processing configuration root@fish # ls -al /symon/patroltest total 8 drwxrwxrwx 2 root other 512 Jul 15 11:41 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root other 1024 Jul 15 11:39 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 root other 770 Jul 15 11:40 cheese -rw-rw-rw- 1 patrol other 770 Jul 15 11:41 cheese.2 " - Symon Aked (symon at start dot com dot au)... __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au/
