I actually got to try running the installer as root (per release note installation instructions) and as ssadmin, since we have two OC servers. The only difference was that running the installer as ssadmin prompted me for the root user and password. The end result of both installations was the same: the file ownership changed, but only on the files that the installer touched.
$ sudo find $SPECROOT -user ssadmin | wc -l 72225 $ sudo find $SPECROOT -user root | wc -l 11670 Also, I could not have started SpectroServer / SCP as root because both of these servers are only OneClick. When I ran the installer as root on our Solaris 10 SpectroServers, I did not have any problems; everything continued to be owned by ssadmin. I don't know if anyone else will experience this issue. (Support claims that a lot of the Linux problems they see are unique and not widespread.) Regardless, I thought people would like to know that if they get an odd error about missing files, the problem is actually file ownership. It's a quick fix, but the error message was misleading.
