Public bug reported: On db2exc 9.7.4-0lucid3, the init script tries to start the administration instance by: - su-ing to the admin instance user - calling "db2admin", which is in ~/das/bin/db2admin, which is in the PATH This fails with the message "-su: das/bin/db2admin: Permission denied". Calling /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/das/bin/db2admin does not fail. My guess is that it's because: - ~/das/bin is a symbolic link owned by root - but ~/das has the sticky bit, so only root can follow the symbolic link Possible fixes : - install the symbolic link with the instance admin user as owner - OR calling /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/das/bin/db2admin in the init script - OR adding /opt/ibm/db2/V9.7/das/bin/db2admin to the PATH for the admin instance user Lionel Sausin
