/etc/group file permission problem

[kel28_1]

We use Intersystems Cache Database with background jobs (non interactive). When these jobs start the process does not acquire the proper permissions assigned in the /etc/group file. Has anyone come across an issue where non interactive processes do not acquire the group access permissions running as a non interactive process?

What OS version? What does id(1) show?
If you aren't on 11.11, you wouldn't get secondary groups activated without linking /etc/logingroup.

OS 11.23. I'll check id(1).

Shalom,

Check the directory permissions for where the jobs show up. There could be an issue with inherited permissions.

Problem solved. Thanks for your responses. The permissions were being inherited from the parent process, not from the /etc/group or local directory permissions.

Permissions inherited from the parent process.
