gplus MLOCK

and set those settings by "#ssetprivgrp gplus MLOCK"...But the problem didn`t solved ...I am also pasting the output of "getprivgrp"below

Hi,
The entries of the the file is as given below...

gep12s02 # cat /etc/privgroup
users MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
dba MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
gemms MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY
aupshape MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY

gplus MLOCK

No i didn`t run the command u gave but i used the command

hi,

i notice a "#gplus MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY" above "gplus MLOCK".

is it possible to remove that line, "#gplus MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY", and then restart the privilege grouping:

# /sbin/init.d/set_prvgrp start

hope this will solve the problem.

regards.

hi,

ok. last resort but not exactly the best way. would you mind setting it globally first to see if the message stop spooling?

# cp -p /etc/privgroup /etc/privgroup.orig
# rm /etc/privgroup
# /usr/sbin/setprivgrp -g MLOCK CHOWN LOCKRDONLY

verify use:
/bin/getprivgrp

also could u run this command to verify if the system can handle large text pages:

# echo allow_superpage_text/D | adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

i just like to confirm if that the group gplus belongs to the oracle db grouping? also, when and what did u do which causes the message to start spooling?

regards.

Hi,
First of all thanks to u for continues support.Secondly,I don`t think i will be able to do that.Secondly the group "gplus"
is for one of the user gplftp,which is doing some kind of ftp transfer....Which i am not sure what kind of transfer...also the "oracle" user is also in this group...

Thanks
Mitra
