unable to logon to the server for all users

[Ganesan R]

Hi Aleemudin,

After booting the system into single user mode run the below command.

#/sbin/cat /etc/fstab

or

#/sbin/cat /etc/fstab |grep /usr

The above commands will give you the logical volume details. Usually lvol6 will be the logical volume of /usr

>how can i know lvol number of /usr mount point

You could always do: /sbin/mountall

[F Verschuren]

Can you post the unix flaver (11.00, 11.11, 11.23, etc?)
If you post this it is poseble that I (ore somewane els) post all the permisions of all files. After booting up in signle urer mode you can change all the files "manaly"

When you are in sigle user mode first do a mount -a to see the contenst of /usr.
ad first you can use the folowing list.. if cou can ad your unix type I can mail/past you a ls -al of all files in /usr...

chmod 2555 /usr/sbin/wall
chmod 2555 /usr/sbin/lanscan
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/vg*
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lv*
chmod 744 /usr/sbin/lvmmigrate
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/swpackage
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/swlist
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/rlpstat
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/rcancel
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/ping
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lvchange.run
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lpshut
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lpsched
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lpmove
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lpfence
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/lpadmin
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/keyenvoy
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/arp
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/accept

chmod 4555 /usr/bin/at
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/passwd
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/rexec
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/rlogin
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/login
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/cancel
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/df
chmod 4555 /usr/bin/rexec

ps restore is the quickest solution (if you have a backup)

I have a script on the ITRC that will generate those chmods. (Another for chown.) See my Mar 22, 06:54:46 reply in:

Thanks Aleem

[OldSchool]

you might try reading what Dennis posted...you know...where he told you he had a script and gave you the link

[Dennis Handly]

>OldSchool: where he told you he had a script and gave you the link

Aleem may be asking for volunteers to run the first half of the script since he only has the one system?
