One thing I see, the installer or the configure procedures for PDDE created a
user and group called pddb and only the pddb directory has this owner.
I guess I'll wait and see what Symantec has to say.

I agree – having that UID/GID is meaningless if not defined in passwd/group
files so changing to your standard owner/group for other files probably won’t
hurt.
Of course it is barely possible Symantec intended these files to have a
different owner/group which should be configured in passwd/group files so
Symantec’s answer would be of interest. I see the same UID/GID you do on my
Linux NBU 7.1 installation.

That is your discretion. What that is telling you is who owned the files when
they were packed. If those users don't show up on your system, I would chown
them to the user:group that owns /usr/openv. If you want to see what the
user:group was in actual text form, you may be able to use "tar -tvf <archive
file>" to tell you. It may be a user:group that does exist on your system, but
using a different uid:gid combo. I doubt it, though.

Waiting on a call back from Symantec but does anyone know which user and group
should own the uid 437 and gid 110 files under /usr/openv/pdde/ ?
It appears the installer just uses the uid/gid from the Symantec tar file and
doesn't change them. A security requirement on my end requires them to be
mapped to a user/group.
