Error Message

No error.

Running the data collector script results in a change to permissions, as seen in the following example:

# ls -ld /tmp/

drwxrwxrwt  7 root     sys          751 Jun  9 11:17 /tmp/

The running of the script changes the permissions of /tmp, e.g.

# ./sort_sol_sparc.sh

.

.

# ls -ld /tmp/

drwxr-xr-x  7 root     sys          751 Jun  9 11:24 /tmp/

The cause is due to the permissions being changed to provide greater security than typically provided by locations, such as /tmp and /var/tmp. The script has since been modified so that the parent directory (/tmp, in this instance) is left as it was originally.
 

There are no plans to address this issue by way of a patch or hotfix in earlier versions of the software at the present time.  However, the issue has been addressed in the revision of the product specified at the end of this article.
