    hi
    this time with HPUX 11.0 kmmodreg.
    kmmodreg creates two files in /tmp:
    /tmp/.kmmodreg_lock and /tmp/kmpath.tmp which cheerfully follows symlink
    to /dev/vg ,  /.rhosts and co.
    kmmodreg creates the files with O_CREATE 666, or using the umask.
    since kmmodreg is running at boot, when umsak is 000, it is possible
    to create the linked files with 666.
    HP has been notified on the 4th of May, and amazingly enough
    released a patch: PHCO_24112.
