I've got one system that comes up with improper protections on /tmp at each boot - doesn't allow other write (goodness I get the VMS mixed in there every time System, Owner, Group, World, makes it very confusing when I need to set protections for User rather than Owner and set the Other bits in the mask).
Anyway - I think my problem is someone was over-zellos with JASS security modules. I'm sure there is an option someone in your startup to fix or even if necessary pre-create the directory and set the ownership to that of the amanda user. > On Wed, Feb 11, 2004 at 05:16:59PM -0600, Fran Fabrizio wrote: > > > > I've started to get this from one of the Solaris clients I backup. > > There's nothing wrong with /tmp, I can create /tmp/foo just fine as the > > amanda user, not a disk space issue, etc...
