[andrew medhurst]

Hi guys
I have a problem with sybase not seeing the async driver which is in the kernel and i can't see a problem, is there a patch that i need to apply, i seem to be having a problem seeing patch listings so unable to check.
regards

Look at the man pages for getprivgrp and setprivgrp.
The user that runs sybase needs to have MLOCK allowed. In my case, the sybase user is part of the "users" group.


root@mybox:/> getprivgrp
global privileges: CHOWN
users: MLOCK

Also check permissions on the async device to make sure the sybase user can use it.

root@mybox:/> ls -l /dev/async*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 101 0x000000 Mar 31 17:19 /dev/async

try: man 1m setprivgrp
I think the command I used was:
"setprivgrp users MLOCK"
A file /etc/privgroup gets created.

As far as patches? I don't know.
steve.
