Create a depot with non-root user

>Tried giving file_permissions -o bin -g bin
but it gives an error & requires the "-m" tag as well

I don't have any problems leaving out -m on 11.11, 11.23 or 11.31. You can also use "-u 222" as the documentation suggests.

>If I can somehow give "file_permissions -o bin -g bin", my problem is solved.

I have no problems doing that. What error do you get?

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

Here is snippet of psf:

fileset
directory Test=/opt/Test
file_permissions -o root -g sys
file *

Error:
WARNING: Invalid value defined for the keyword "file_permissions", at
line 23. Valid values for this keyword are:

[-m mode|-u umask ] [-o [owner[,]][uid]] [-g [group[,]][gid]]

where each component of the value defines a default permission
for files in the fileset.


If I add the "-m" tag in the file_permissions, it creates without any error.
My system is HPIA 11.31

Putting the "-u" tag also will disturb the base permissions of my file

Do you have any SD patches? I don't get that error. I'll check mine.

>[-m mode|-u umask ] [-o [owner[,]][uid]] [-g [group[,]][gid]]

As I mentioned above, simply use "-u 222" instead of -m.

Give me a couple of days.
I'll get back on Monday.

Thanks

Putting "-u 000" solved my purpose.
Giving "-u 222" was subtracting the permissions.

Yes. You wanted files with write permission?

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

I want the permissions as it is as they are present in the directory from which I am building the package.

>I want the permissions as it is as they are present in the directory

I was questioning why you would ever deliver a file that was writable?
These files, unless marked volatile and are in /etc or /var, should be treated as read only. And you may have swverify issues, if changed.

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

A couple of files are script files which have to be run after the package has installed.
These scripts start the services.

Is there any other option rather than sending them as writable?

Could you give me some information about the volatile files, i am unaware of this.
