1313.0. "OSF 3.2D migration problem" by TRNOIS::TESTA (POLYCENTER = Integration Mirage !?!) Tue Jun 04 1996 03:14

    Hello,
    
    my customer have problem after migration at OSF 3.2D with PCM
    1.6-1. Only 'root' can use C3 interface, other users with complete
    profile defined get 'failed to connect to ENS' and all systems icon
    grey. The PCM has been re-installed but the problem there is again.
    
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    the directory protection was '755', putting it '777': same result.
    After restart of PCM: same result.

    Paolo,
      My thoughts were that non-priv users couldn't access the socket
    created by ENS or the line controller daemons. If you start PCM and
    then do an ls -l on /var/opt/console/tmp whats the protections on the
    sockets?

    Paolo,
      Another site reported this same problem. Something within Unix 3.2D
    has changed (Obviously) as PCM has worked fine up to this point. We did
    a little digging and we find the socket protecxtion mask disallows all
    access except for the user field which in this case is root. I checked
    the code and the protection is specifically set that way. Thsi begs the
    question, why has it ever worked?!!! We did a qucik experiment and
    changed the soket protection to allow "world access" and the C3 came
    up expect it couldn't map the shared memory section.
    
    Paolo, please rais an IPMT.
