Re: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?
Just a thought, but are the permissions of the directory rwxr-xr-x or something similar? If a directory doesn't have execute permissions, you can't CD to it. That's also true if the parent directories don't have execute permissions set. Karl quote who=Jon Wells Hi all, Earlier this week I set out to replace a test account with a fresh copy of the live account (Unidata 6.1 on AIX 5.1). The Live account had grown more then I had anticipated and I found myself with a max'ed out /test file system. While preparing to restore from tape, we found we had a bad disc. We had another disc from a decommissioned box, created a new /test file system, and restored from tape there. The problem is I can not get to the colon prompt unless I'm logged in as root. I tried stripping the LOGIN paragraph down to just a couple of UDT.OPTIONS commands along with a DISPLAY statement so I can tell if the LOGIN paragraph was even run. 464 datateludt /test/coltest Can't get current working directory. It did not run the LOGIN paragraph??? We're not sure what else to look at. The system was rebooted this morning. The startud logs look fine. Looks like all permissions were preserved.

RE: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?
Jon, The fact that you can get things to work as root, but not as other users, sounds like a permissions problem somewhere out in unix. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Wells Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:10 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?

Re: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?
I have seen this before. Usually one of 2 things. 1) Someone rm'ed the directory while you were still in it 2) You don't have correct permissions to the account directory I am guessing the latter since root appears to be fine. If you sure permissions are wide open on the directory, files and all subdirectories, you can check the VOC for corruption. -Doug At 09:10 AM 6/21/2007, Jon Wells wrote: 464 datateludt /test/coltest Can't get current working directory. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

We've been trying to find any pertinent notes from when we first created '/test' and have been coming up short. We will catch it in the morning (Friday) when we can have a quite system.

Re: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?
Just checked our records. After the restore and before we started mussing with permissions, a ls -l screen shot showed /test was @ 755, sys, sys which is what we see for the currently working just fine /live directory. Is there a difference between '/test' the directory and '/test' the mount point? I believe test was @ 770 when we started looking at permissions :-/ . *---* Jon Wells Database Administrator Beloit College Information Services ResourcesBeloit, Wisconsin 608-363-2290[EMAIL PROTECTED] 608-363-2100(fax) *---* Colleague 17 Benefactor 5.1 AIX 5.1.3IBM RS6000 F50UniData 6.1.11 *---* --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?
Ah Ha!!! We were able to perform a umount /test, change permissions, and mount /test. It is now working :-) Thank you all for your help! *---* Jon Wells Database Administrator Beloit College Information Services ResourcesBeloit, Wisconsin 608-363-2290[EMAIL PROTECTED] 608-363-2100(fax) *---* Colleague 17 Benefactor 5.1 AIX 5.1.3IBM RS6000 F50UniData 6.1.11 *---* --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
